December, 2018, Part 2, Political Class Insanity: More Ocasio-Cortez Ignorance, More Government Waste, and More Political Arrogance

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) Nancy Pelosi has always been our go to politician for stupid, inane, and simply out of touch with reality quotes. However, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, elected Congresswoman from NYC may now be our new favorite for those types of quotes. Put her name in the search box above for the many idiotic quotes we have already discussed that have come from her mouth.

And she is not slowing down. She recently put forth this gem of ignorance: "If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — Uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House." Very, very sad, and scary, that an elected member of Congress has no clue how our republic and government is structured, something that a grammar school student probably knows: executive branch, Congress branch, and judicial branch.

If she is so ignorant about this basic fact, how comfortable are you with her deciding on legislation that affects all of us? Stupid is as stupid does and this type of ignorance is really stupid...but keeping with her track record.

2) The Federal government’s national debt is currently pushing rapidly towards a whopping $22 TRILLION. The Washington political class and the inept government functions it is responsible for waste untold billions of dollars every day with not positive impact on the American taxpayers who actually pay for that waste. The Convention of States website recently discussed a single instance of abuse in only one state that shows this concept of waste at its worst:

• California prison inmates have been siphoning off Social Security financial benefits while in prison.
• According to a quote from the Washington Free Beacon:”The inspector general for the agency reported 123 inmates received the disability and retirement payments despite the Social Security Act prohibiting payments to individuals "confined to a jail, prison, or certain other public institutions for committing a crime."
• The IG report found that 123 inmates received the $3.5 million in improper payments.

This waste was from only one state? Makes you wonder how much more taxpayer wealth is being improperly paid to prison inmates in the 49 other states and other instances in California that have not been uncovered yet? No wonder we are $22 TRILLION in debt, those politicians and bureaucrats in Washington have no clue on how to NOT waste our tax dollars.

3) The Convention of States website recently had the following gems of ignorance from the political class:

• A recent Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ran an ad that accused the Republicans of raising taxes and energy costs even though the Trump tax cuts will reduce taxes for well over 100 million taxpayers, energy costs have been dropping steadily over the past two years, Nancy Pelosi and other leading Democrats have been calling for tax increases. Talk about being out of touch.
• Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren was recently ranting that since Trump did not win the popular vote that it was unhealthy for our democracy. She failed to mention that a lot of that deficit of the popular vote was in California, a state that is rife with voter fraud, that we do not live in democracy, we live in a Constitutional republic, and the election went exactly the way our Constitutional is set up. May she come from the same school of government ignorance that Ocasio-Cortez attended.
• And finally, Democratic Senator Cory Booker claims that, “he tries to understand "other folks" by reading books like Hillbilly Elegy and travelling to midwestern, southern, and western states. Sorry, Sen. Booker. If you want to connect with everyday Americans, you probably shouldn't talk about them like they're animals in a zoo.”

Let me conclude today’s discussion of political ignorance and incompetence with some words from the Convention Of States website. It does get depressing always discussing how inept the American political class is: they are ignorant, self serving, greedy, and never resolve any of the major issues facing Americans. They always leave office much wealthier than when the enter office even though their performance while in office is usually never worthy of even their paycheck, never mind the the unexplained incremental wealth. 

The Convention Of States, however, gives us some hope that we can fix all that is broken Washington. I will let them explain their purpose and goals to fix what is certainly broken: “It's time to take power away from these D.C. swamp monsters and return it to the states and the people. The states and the people best understand how to solve the problems facing their local communities. Far-away politicians and bureaucrats clearly have no idea what everyday Americans are thinking and feeling, which is why they so often make such terrible decisions.

That's why we need to call the first-ever Article V Convention of States. A Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that restore the balance of power between the states and the feds and ensure that our clueless D.C. "representatives" can't wreck our country any more than they already have.”
