They have no plan, only scare us!

I should not have been surprised last week by our friendly Democratic leaders that were out on the campaign trail with more scare tactics and with no substance or a plan to lead the United States into the future.

Senator Bernie Sanders I-VT and Congresswoman Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) D-NY were in Las Vegas with their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour out West.

According to a published NBC story; “This isn’t just about Republicans. We need a Democratic Party that fights harder for us, too.” Congresswoman AOC told a crowd that gathered at the Craig Ranch Amphitheater to see her and Senator Bernie Sanders. “But what that means is that we as a community must choose and vote for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class.”

I have watched, as the Democratic Party has become nothing more than a party that has only one plan and that is to derail President Trump and his plan for us.

The only plan that Sanders and his colleagues have pushed forward is that the rich are too rich and we need to tax them more.

No matter how good Trump’s plan may be, the Democrats are against it. With the Democrats being led by New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who talks against our wealthy citizens, but he has a net worth of around $81 million. He thinks he can solve the problems of people living from paycheck to paycheck, with more programs that spend tax dollars.

As we have seen with Musk’s DOGE program most government programs are full of fraud and waste.

AOC is being encourage to mount a primary challenge to Schumer, for his New York Senate seat in 2028. Schumer had been Senate majority leader until the election of 2024 gave the Republicans the majority. He has served as the New York senator since 1999. If you watch any TV, Schumer is the one who is always on the senate floor reading from some prepared statement that he had not familiarized himself with.

Of all the effort that the Democrats are putting up against Trump’s agenda, they have not uttered one word about the Russia/Ukraine war or the one in Israel and both of them started under Biden’s term as he just sat back and watched and did very little as Jewish hate rose on U.S. college campuses and the administration seemed not to care or put a stop to all that hate.

Let’s all get behind Elon Musk and his DOGE program because as he put it, if the country goes broke, there will be no funds for Social Security, Medicare or any other government program and all will suffer. Musk says, “that DOGE’s cost cutting is necessary to prevent the U.S. Government from sinking into bankruptcy.”

We spend more on interest on the national debt than we spend on our military. 

In another matter, in last week’s column I confused left from right and thanks to Mike Lentz for pointing that out to me.
