The crazies among us, all of whom happen to belong to the misnamed “Democratic Party,” have been on a defunding kick.  While riots ran riot all over America, these kooks, led by the members of The Squad, AOC and her Commie comrades, put forth proposals to defund the police.  This nonsense was prompted by the death of career criminal and crime victim George Floyd in Minnesota.  Floyd, who had a history including an armed home invasion, during which he held a pregnant woman at gunpoint, told police “I ate too many drugs.”  He famously said, “I can’t breathe,” which was not surprising, as Floyd, who suffered from heart disease, had ingested marijuana, crystal meth and a fatal dose of fentanyl.  Rather than simply taking Floyd to a hospital, we saw what the cop did, so Floyd’s death was a homicide.  George Floyd became an unlikely martyr, with murals and statues popping up everywhere people have an axe to grind.  The Squad (or is it Squat?) proposed a remedy – defund the police.  135 Democrats have sponsored a bill.  Because George Floyd said, “I can’t breathe,” it’s called, The BREATHE Act.  That’s catchy, but I understand that lung function improves when you don’t overdose on fentanyl, a drug used during surgery that stops your breathing.  Anyhow, The BREATHE Act will slash federal funds to local police and federal agencies, and spend the money on social welfare, health care, education, environmental programs, and reparations for African-Americans.  It cancels grant programs that fund local police and provide equipment.  It also defunds ICE and the DEA, and prohibits the use of ankle monitors and Gang databases.  This makes sense.  No need to identify the people most likely to shoot you dead, and since we let them all out of jail, no reason to keep track of who might be climbing in your window right now.  Personally, I’m with Senator Kennedy of Louisiana, “Next time someone’s breaking into your house, don’t call a cop, call a crackhead.”  One Squad member, AOC acolyte Jamaal Bowman, even proposed taking guns away from the police, as he thinks they are too dangerous to be permitted to go about armed.  Of course, he only wants to take guns from the police that protect you.  He has armed officers guarding his house.  That’s how it works in a totalitarian dictatorship.  They take guns away from law-abiding people, while the leaders stay safe behind barbed wire.  But not to worry.  According to public safety experts such as Chicago Mayor Lightfoot, although 108 people, including 12 children, were shot in her city over the July 4th holiday, crime actually is down.  I guess they’re running out of people to shoot.  And it really doesn’t matter.  Since the news no longer is what happened, but what they say happened, as long as they say crime is down, it’s down.  When you think of it, defunding the police makes sense.  If we’re not going to arrest or prosecute criminals, then why pay all those cops all that money?  Not sick yet?  Squad member Rashida Tlaib also wants to defund the Department of Homeland Security.  Does that mean we’ll no longer have to take our shoes off at the airport?  This actually is a good idea. If DHS let her family into the country, what good are they?  So what if the first duty of government is to protect its citizens?  So what if the fallout means that tourists and businesses won’t return to the cities, and their tax bases disappear?  We’ve always got Uncle Sucker in Washington to spread around the graft, uh, I mean stimulus.  Am I the only one who’s wondering how New Jersey, a State in a perpetual state of near bankruptcy, this year wound up with a more than $10 billion surplus?  In boom years, New Jersey had budget deficits.  After a year during which little work was done, they have a surplus?  The money came from the federal government, which itself ran a $3.1 trillion deficit last year.  Since January, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden has spent another $2 trillion we don’t have, on stimulus we don’t need, and he’s currently holding out for an additional $6 trillion spending bill.  No one, especially no one in the Democrat Party, seems to be concerned about a national debt which now tops $28 trillion.  Let’s put it in perspective.  The debt exceeded $1 trillion for the first time in 1982.  I’m old enough to remember Democrats, some of them still in office, who were shocked, shocked at the size of such a debt.  Spoiler alert.  Ronald Reagan was President, there was a $250 billion budget deficit, and Democrats found that number to be unconscionable and ruinous.  Then, as now, they blamed tax cuts.  Here’s the truth.  By dropping the top tax rate from 70% to 28%, federal tax revenue doubled during the Reagan years.  They had a deficit because, although they had an additional $500 billion to spend, they spent an additional $750 billion.  Bill Clinton fixed it.  He raised taxes on the hated rich.  The result?  The national debt went up to $5.8 trillion, 55% of GDP.  When Il Duce Obama arrived, the debt was $10 trillion, and in the financial crisis of 2008 rose to 68% of GDP.  It took 28 years for the debt to go from $1 to $10 trillion.  Obama managed to nearly double the debt in 8 years.  He increased the debt to more than 100% of GDP, for the first time since World War II.  Democrats who were appalled at a $250 billion Republican deficit thought nothing of annual Obama deficits over $1 trillion.  Last year’s Wuhan deficit was over $3 trillion.  With the Wuhan gone, Biden is sure to beat that this year.  What’s troubling is that not many Republicans are sounding the alarm on this reckless spending.  The 2020 deficit was 129% of GDP.  That’s unsustainable, and sadly, that’s their plan.  It’s the John Blutarski, Animal House, economic system, “Have some money.  It don’t cost nothing!” The plan is to keep sending people supposedly free money; but money, much like lunch, isn’t free.  They plan to create a financial crisis, and then, because of the crisis, which will be the fault of the rich, raise taxes through the roof and take the rest of your liberty.  Here’s my solution.  While we’re in a defunding mood, let’s defund the government.  Let’s stop spending money we haven’t got .
