“Half Of All Millennials Think Barack Obama is More Important Than George Washington!!??”

“Half Of All Millennials Think Barack Obama is More Important Than George Washington!!??”

If you want to understand just how uninformed and how corrupt the media and academia have become—both of which are controlled by the Left/Democrats—let that headline sink in. Your children and grandchildren are being taught this in college. Seldom ever directly, but through a variety of social science curricula; racial theory, gender studies, feminist studies, queer theory, etc, and, increasingly, even in American history—all of which are being bent towards a Marxist theory of world history. This is why socialism is held in high regard by millennials and a significant majority of the press, both of whom were educated through the same academic process.

True socialism is Marxism. The socialism-moderate version of Bernie Sanders is simply the rest of the camel making its way into the tent of American life. Not surprisingly, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her millennial advocates are the quickening herds of even-toed ungulates, shredding the tent completely, just as expected.

Here’s reality: Social Security is broke. Medicare is Broke. Medicaid is broke. There is no money. Costs are out of control. Taxes must be raised, choking off economic growth, creating a circular problem. Most skilled politicians aren't given to circular reasoning, except as a way of never having to admit their wrong, which is why we just get more of the same, and the debt and taxes grow and grow. Look at a key part of the Democrats 2020 election strategy, “We’re going to raise taxes a trillion dollars! Isn't it wonderful!” The Democrat faithful actually applaud this idiocy. With most of the media as cheerleaders, no one should be surprised.

Meanwhile, Obama Care drives costs up. Not down. Just as the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office predicted it would, nearly eight years ago, but only after Obama left office, in time for President Hillary to make a one-size fit all, thoroughly socialized, single-payer system, America’s healthcare option.

​Their only option.


Thank God for small blessings. (Hillary’s loss, I mean.)

Of course, when you have a one-size-fits-all anything, you've eliminated choice, freedom, markets, all the things that make everything from socks to cheese abundant and cheap. This, however, only matters to people who've thought about it a bit, which does not appear to be most of humanity.

Likewise, every single socialist-light program put in place by Politicians is flat broke, and getting broker by the minute. From government subsidized college tuition to America’s already socialized healthcare system, the word “Broke” doesn't begin to cut it, as costs skyrocket and trillions in debt are owed. This has been building for decades and is only the beginning, with massive, unsustainable, unfunded governmental debts waiting just around the corner, as the last of the baby boomers retire over the next decade. Don’t blame the boomers, though. It was their parents who created those programs, and their parent, parents, before them. But, no worries. Because American politicians have a handy scapegoat, poised for the kill. His name is….(Do I really need to say it?)

Now avert your eyes, so our ruling class can ruthlessly cling to power, as they drive the ship of state into the nearest iceberg. Americans had their moment. But they willfully blinded themselves in an attempt to maintain their blissfully ignorant state of unawareness.

“Just give us our stuff, and then we’ll let you do whatever you want.” The People said to the politicians. And the politicians responded, “Of course, we’ll get you your stuff.

“How are we going to pay for it all? We’re going to pay for it by using what we like to call The Teddy Kennedy Method.”

“Now, don’t forget, as the water begins to cover your head, breath deep.”

“It will all be over in a moment."
