Billionaires bring in cheap labour, then they allow the families in. The Billionaires get richer, while the Nation gets more overburdened. Billionaires pay media to write how important immigration is but they don't tell you it's only for the rich not for the Nation.

I was waiting for him, Bessent, JD or Trump to say that. No fraud = Balanced Budget.

"We could BALANCE the federal budget if the ONLY dollars that went out of the Treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."

That would amount to 0 individuals, 0 businesses, and 0 foreign nations. Every single form of welfare or scheme to give away any of our treasure is a direct violation of the limits of power delegated to government through the Constitution.

False is the idea that the Constitution is a compact between government and the People. That would be impossible:

“It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of Freedom, to say, that government is a compact between those who govern and those that are governed: but this cannot be true, because it is putting the effect before the cause; for as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with. The fact therefore must be, that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.” ~ Thomas Paine (1737-1809) US Founding father, pamphleteer, author

“A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either.” ~ Thomas Paine (1737-1809) US Founding father, pamphleteer, author

“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.” ~ John Adams (1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President Thoughts on Government, 1776

“A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal.” ~ Thomas Paine (1737-1809) US Founding father, pamphleteer, author

Now lets explore the whole concept of government benevolence / welfare:

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President 1792, in disapproval of Congress appropriating $15,000 to assist some French refugees

“With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President

Government has no more right to take money from us to give to someone else than we do to take from our neighbor to give to another neighbor.

“Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways; hence, there are an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, bonuses, subsidies, incentives, the progressive income tax, free education, the right to employment, the right to profit, the right to wages, the right to relief, the right to the tools of production, interest free credit, etc., etc. And it the aggregate of all these plans, in respect to what they have in common, legal plunder, that goes under the name of socialism.” ~ Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) [Claude Frederic Bastiat] French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before -- and immediately following -- the French Revolution of February 1848 Essays, 61

“But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.” ~ Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) [Claude Frederic Bastiat] French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before -- and immediately following -- the French Revolution of February 1848 "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat (1848)

“Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. ... Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them.” ~ Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) US Founding Father On the Price of Corn, and Management of the Poor, London Chronicle, November 29, 1766

“Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

“To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association -- the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Note in Tracy's "Political Economy," 1816

“The Care therefore of every man's Soul belongs unto himself, and is to be left unto himself. But what if he neglect the Care of his Soul? I answer, What if he neglects the Care of his Health, or of his Estate, which things are nearlier related to the Government of the Magistrate than the other? Will the magistrate provide by an express Law, That such an one shall not become poor or sick? Laws provide, as much as is possible, that the Goods and Health of Subjects be not injured by the Fraud and Violence of others; they do not guard them from the Negligence or Ill-husbandry of the Possessors themselves.” ~ John Locke (1632-1704) English philosopher and political theorist A Letter Concerning Toleration [1689], Edited and Introduced by James H. Tully (Hacklett Publishing Company, 1983), p. 35

The bottom line is that charity is a voluntary act by individuals, and government has no authority or right to provide charity.

“We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not attempt to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.” ~ Davy Crockett (1786-1836) American hunter, frontiersman, soldier and politician 1827, spoken on the floor of Congress concerning a proposed relief bill for the widow of a naval officer.

“I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.” ~ Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) 22nd & 24th US President, mayor and governor in New York state In 1887 when vetoing an appropriation to help drought-stricken counties in Texas

All government spending is fraudulent. ALL.

They get our money using internet too, this is not only a national thefts also international, all of them are thieves.

Daily reminder that corporate fraud and corporate wellfare DWARF all other kinds of debt passed on to taxpayers.

I think this could be called a "momentous" statement. It makes one both hopeful and appalled at the same time.

Stop funding other countries.

Ukraine has Americans paying teacher salaries and government worker pensions.

The welfare system needs to be reformed.. The way it is right now, you only get help so long as you make under like $1,700 a month. when you make that little, the only way to survive is by having the government pay for your apartment, your food, your medical care. but once you make over that magic number which by the way is not enough to survive because your typical one bedroom apartment these days is like $1,600 a month in a lot of places, All of a sudden you're way worse off because everything just gets shut off instantly. The system needs to do a tapering off at that point instead of just completely leaving people out in the cold. as it is right now, it is set up to basically disincentivize you from getting a job or increasing your income. it's a handout not a hand up. the moment you pass that threshold you lose your medicine for your colitis, you lose your housing, you lose your food benefits, and you end up worse off than you would be if you didn't get a job to begin with. The only way around this is basically to commit fraud or to get some training while you're doing it in order to get a job that pays enough in order to completely cover the constantly rising cost of living. like you basically have to exceed the 60,000 a year threshold in order to make it work.
