We, you and me, cannot print money. Like the Gubmint does every single day. All day, every day. Stop by the Department of the Treasury in Swampville if you doubt me. They'll proudly give you a guided tour. You'll see pallets of $100 bills, 5' wide, 4' tall. Being printed every 7 minutes.
The Gubmint, our Gubmint, took in $4.7 Trillion Dollars last year. That's $Four Thousand Seven Hundred Billion Dollars. More than ever before. And yet, it proved to be insufficient for the spending wishes of our elected representatives. They spent $1.6 Trillion Dollars more than that. And they (O'Biden/Harris) overspent some $10.1 Trillion Dollars during their 4 years in office. Causing inflation to spike to levels not seen since Jimmy Carter was screwing up America. Contributing to an overall National Dept you and I share of more than $36 Trillion Dollars. That's $Money we borrowed from our Grandchildren.
And so far are making no effort to pay back...
Now then, Fellow Patriots, since it seems we can't keep our Gubmint from spending more than it takes in, might I suggest it spend some of that excess $Cash it throws around on a charity right here at home we should all want to support.
Frank Stiller founded the Tunnel To Towers Foundation non-profit two decades ago. His brother was a First Responder who ran into the Twin Towers while others were running out. And he gave his life that day. Frank has been working overtime ever since to honor his brother's passing. Working for free, I might add. By paying off the mortgages of, or even building new homes for, First Responders and Members of our Military who gave it all in the service of our Country.
So far Frank and his 501(c)3 Public Benefit Corporation has taken in more than $10,000,000. Much of it is received via an $11.00 monthly donation chosen by many Americans like you and me. And with those donations he's building 62 custom homes for the families of some of those same heroes just this year alone.
To date, Frank and T2T has built, or paid off the mortgages of, more than 1,000 homes. He is to be lauded, applauded and congratulated. But all of this makes me ask one simple question: Why is Frank Stiller and T2T being forced to do something that should be the obligation of our Gubmint? If a soldier dies in the service to America shouldn't America take care of his family? And why are there hundreds of families awaiting such payback as this is written?
We have shoveled off more than $175,000,000,000 to Ukraine since Russia invaded 3 years ago. That's $One Hundred and Seventy Five Billion Dollars. It would seem if we could print that much $Money for Ukraine, we could certainly be able to print a few $Bucks for our fallen heroes, right? But our elected representatives have funneled not one single $Dollar to help the families of the Soldiers and Sailors and Marines and Airmen who have paid the ultimate price?
Why is that?
It seems nothing gets done in The Swamp unless there's an outcry from the General Public. That's You and Me. How about we start an outcry, right now, today?
