Memo to Conservatives: Republicans Aren’t Your Friends

http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/02/memo_to_conservatives_republicans_arent_your_friends.html

and…

At the end of 2009, the total federal debt was $12.3 trillion—a staggering amount of money.  Now, it stands at an astonishing $23.1 trillion.
That’s roughly $180,500 of debt for every U.S. household.

https://twitter.com/Heritage/status/1224428600872636418

… &

Consumers will largely bear the brunt of the country’s financial ruin…  While the United States’ official debt is $2[3] trillion [the article was published in 2018], the fiscal gap is really 10 times larger — $2[30] trillion.  That comes from adding in off-the-book liabilities, including debt that’s in the Federal Reserve’s hands…  It’s not like the rest of the fiscal operation can bail out Social Security…  So when you look at these numbers, you realize we’re Argentina in 1910…  In one century, Argentina went from super rich to super poor…

[Republicans] will not push primarily for border security, or for protection of religious freedom, or for repeal of Common Core.  They will not use their opportunity to govern as an opportunity to draw contrast between conservatism and leftism.  Instead, they will seek ‘common ground’ in a vain attempt to show the American people that efficiency deserves re-election.”
