Last week when I referred to “incompetence” in those who are supposed to be in charge, I was told by a reader that I shouldn’t be so harsh as all humans make mistakes.
However on 7/29/24 I read two seemingly unrelated stories that on further reflection summarize the incompetence of those who are supposedly in charge of our government. For the second time I want to emphasize the word “incompetence.”
The first incredible piece of news was an ABC interview of the local Butler, PA SWAT team. The spokesman for the SWAT team said that they had no communication with Secret Service prior to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. They were supposed to meet them upon arrival and it never happened.
Hmmm!
The second story from PJ Media:
“More than three-fourths of all personal income tax from American taxpayers will go directly toward paying off the interest on our massive and ever-burgeoning national debt. FAIRtax reported the sobering data on July 20, explaining, “Interest Payments on U.S. National Debt Will Shatter $1,140,000,000,000 This Year – Eating 76% of All Income Taxes Collected.” Yet politicians from both parties only increase instead of restricting government spending. We are headed for a national financial catastrophe of epic proportions.”
From Twitter:
Peter St Onge, Ph.D has an excellent 3:47 video going into the details of why this is a cruel joke on the American people. And also on Twitter … Elon Musk: ‘America is headed for bankruptcy fyi.’
So there you have it! 76% of taxes paid by Americans are going to service our debt. What do we get for the other 34%? … an incompetent, or worse, Secret Service that failed to communicate with the local Butler, PA SWAT team!
OMG!
Hmmm!
