Love My Country, Loathe My Government: August, 2025, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: FBI Voids Hillary Investigation, The National Debt Soars To $37 TRILLION, and Congressional Members are Great Insider Stock Traders

There is a lot going on in the world: Obama and Russiagate findings, Middle East powder keg, the Russian/Ukrainian war, etc. But through all this, the American political class continues to constantly deliver its own special brand of insanity, stupidity, wasteful taxpayer spending, and ineffective government programs.

1)Through the work of Tulsi Gabbard, a mountain of previously secret government documents have been released that showed a massive government employee and politician coverup regarding the attempted framing of President Donald Trump and now debunked theory that Russia was instrumental in getting him elected in 2016. Names like Obama, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Hillary Clinton have been involved in one way or another.

We will let the smoke settle on this major and potentially treasonous conspiracy of high ranking government officials before diving into the heinous details. But one aspect of the coverup is the theory that the conspiracy was to protect the shenanigans of the Clinton Foundation that were going on at about the same time. The theory being that Hillary Clinton wanted to embroil Trump in a Russia themed hoax to divert attention away from what was going on in her life and the Clinton Foundation.

And recent released documents by Gabbard shed some light on what was actually going on:

A recently released timeline from FBI internal records indicates that the FBI Los Angeles was actively investigating the Clinton Foundation back in 2016.
Specifically, they were tracking down the details on 19 different Clinton Foundation bank accounts and their possible use in campaign finance fraud in the 2016 Presidential election.
However, in the middle of the investigation, the Department of Justice under Obama put an end to the investigation before it could be completed.
Deputy Attorney Sally Yates was the culprit in calling off the FBI investigators, directing the FBI to “Shut it down.”

Let’s face it, there is probably a high likelihood that there were suspicious and possibly criminal activities going on relative to the Clinton Foundation, activities that we have previously laid out in this blog. But high ranking government officials quite possibly got the Clintons a free pass at least in the 19 bank account situation, reinforcing many Americans' views that the American political class, besides being incompetent, is also crooked and criminal.

2)The Federal government just reached a historic milestone, a milestone that indicates that pretty soon our economy and our freedoms will come crashing down with bad economic implications for every American:

The national debt incurred by the Washington political class via the Federal government recently exceeded $37,000,000,000,000.
That is $37 trillion for those that do not want to count the zeroes.
That means that to pay off the debt, every single American man, woman, and child would have to chip in about $110,000 each, a family of four would have to pay about $440,000.
Obviously this is not going to happen since it is financially impossible.
And before anyone says anything akin to taxing the rich to pay off the debt, keep in mind that even if you confiscated the TOTAL wealth of the three richest Americans, (Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg), about $600 billion, you would pay off less than 2% of the debt.
The interest on this national debt is now over $1 trillion a year which means that on a prorated basis, on average every American is paying just under $3,000 just to pay the interest on the debt, never mind paying down the principal.
This $3,000 that cannot be spent to expand the economy, create jobs, and allow more freedom for Americans.
Many economists believe that as long as a nation’s debt is less than the nation’s GDP, the debt problem can be handled.
Today, the Federal government’s debt is over $37 trillion while the country’s GDP is only $29 trillion, meaning the debt is about 28% higher than what economists think is within the safety zone.
It is no surprise how we got to this point since in 2019, the Federal government spent $4.5 trillion while in 2025, the Federal government will spend $7.3 trillion, a whopping 62% increase in six years.

It is an economic problem that is growing exponentially. This type of government spending takes trillions of dollars out of the economy that could have been used for more constructive purposes. The interest payments are getting worse and will continue to take wealth out of people and businesses' pockets, resulting in higher and higher inflation as the amount of available investment money in the economy gets sops by up by government interest payments.

While the current government spending cuts by DOGE are an encouraging start, they are miniscule compared to the major cuts that have to be taken before the crisis explodes and the country and its citizens suffer unbelievable economic hardships. Unfortunately, current Washington politicians are either too stupid, too afraid or too ignorant to fix a looming financial disaster that grows worse every minute of every day.

3)Maybe one reason why this Federal debt problem is never seriously addressed is the reality that many In Congress spend too much time making themselves richer and richer rather than fixing this and every other problem facing the country:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently discussed how many members of Congress have made many fortunate stock sales and buys that have made them incredible amounts of money.
According to Bessent: "I am going to start pushing for a single stock trading ban, because it is the credibility of the House and the Senate that you look at some of these eye-popping returns."
He specifically singled out our old favorite insider trading Congressional member, Nancy Pelosi, and Senator Ron Weyden as two members of Congress that have made numerous stock trades that seriously outperformed major hedge fund, professional stock market experts: "Every hedge fund would be jealous of them."
Furthermore: "And you know, the American people deserve better than this. People shouldn’t come to Washington to get rich. They should come to serve the American people, and it brings down trust in the system because, I can tell you, that if any private citizen traded this way, the SEC would be knocking on their door."
He mentioned an unnamed member of Congress that rather than work on legislation and issues that negatively affect Americans, this member executed over 1,200 stock trades in a single year, more than what most hedge funds do annually.

It is difficult to believe that members of Congress have their full attention on national problems when they are constantly looking for stock market insider information edges resulting in dozens, hundreds or over a 1,000 stock trades during their tenure. No wonder the country is a mess, no one is watching the store but still getting rich.

Enough insanity for today: corruption via insider trading, corruption by derailing criminal investigations of political class members, and a skyrocketing debt problem with no solution in sight.
