E-Newsletter No. 98 February 2022
The good news is that even though there continues to be daily reports that the Left wants to move forward on various schemes to transform our country, nothing overly bad was passed by Congress this past month. Having said that…. On February 18th, our dysfunctional Congress did the right thing and approved an additional Continuing Resolution and kicked the can down the road again to March 11th. Stay tuned. Please keep in mind that these ongoing circus acts during 2022 should never have even happened if Congress had followed their own rules and had passed all of these tax and spending bills prior to September 30, 2021, before the new fiscal year even began. The good news is that maybe (just maybe) none of these “transformative” changes the Left wants to impose will get passed this year, and we will simply get through the remainder of the year with additional Continuing Resolutions.
The bad news is the authoritarian Left will never stop in their continued attempts to fundamentally transform our country. The other bad news is that shortly after February 1st, our federal government’s (on book) debt passed the $30 trillion mark, and each citizen’s share of this debt is now officially in excess of $90,000 each. In addition, inflation – the prices we pay for goods and services – continues to rise, with no end in sight to that problem, either.
However (as we mentioned last month) what is even more troubling is the ongoing assault on our citizens’ Liberty and Freedom. More on that next month. BTW – We stand in support of the Canadian truckers.
