The Federal Government Is an Ever-Growing, Out-of-Control Monster

Jeff Davidson  Nov 12, 2023

Believe it or not, the federal debt during the time of President Ronald Reagan was $1 trillion. By 2020, it had grown to $30 trillion. Then, in less than three years, Joe Biden has increased the debt by another $2.5 trillion. Our total debt is now more than 75 times that of 1920. As the government grows irrevocably, our individual liberties suffer. More legislation and regulation, and more of everything, hampers the ability of citizens to live their lives freely. The far-Left Biden Administration is well aware of this.............Unimaginably, a staggering 500 federal agencies currently operate with almost no oversight. They procure items that our nation cannot afford, launch studies that are marginal at best, and manipulate the government in ways that the Founding Fathers could not have foreseen. .................... 

What about the debt on these expenditures and the rising federal deficit itself? Accumulating debt costs money, and federal debt interest is paid to countries such as China and Japan. Since Biden was installed, the nation's annual interest on our accumulated debt now stands at $663 billion, projected to rise to $745 billion in 2024 and $1.4 trillion in 2033. This is not mere fiscal irresponsibility; it is insanity. .......... we are approaching one federal employee for every 100 citizens as if anybody in the 50 states ever needed such bureaucracy. And those figures do not include government contractors........To Read More...

  • The FBI -- the Dog That Turned on Its Master - January 12, 2024 By John Green - Feedback is a fundamental principle of control theory. All systems, regardless of whether they’re technical or social, require negative feedback to maintain predictability and stability. System actions which deviate from those desired must trigger a response which counteracts (rather than reinforces) the deviation. When an automobile begins to accelerate, the cruise control applies negative feedback by reducing the throttle to maintain control. Were it to do otherwise, the car’s behavior would be unpredictable or even catastrophic...............In 2023, Director Christopher Wray was called before Congress to account for his vicious pack of attack dogs prowling the streets with impunity. Wray simply
    • Lied, as he did with his Seth Rich testimony;
    • Obfuscated with “I don’t know” or “part of an ongoing investigation”; or
    • Ducked questioning entirely by leaving for vacation.

His behavior was the alpha dog, snarling at his owner, and daring him to take a swing with the rolled-up newspaper. It was a stark demonstration that our “watchdog” has learned that disobedience to its master is of no consequence.
