The First Step to Saving the Republic? End the Fed and Gut the Military-Industrial Complex
America’s Credit Score is the Canary in the Coal Mine
When Moody’s joined Fitch and S&P in downgrading Uncle Sam’s credit rating, it wasn’t just a slap on the wrist—it was a flare in the sky. The cause? An eye-watering $37 trillion in debt and zero political will to stop the bleeding.
While that warning shot echoed, the House Budget Committee was busy lining up votes for what Trump called the “big beautiful bill.” Yes, it slashes taxes—and that’s good. It even repeals taxes on tips and overtime. But don’t be fooled. That sweet-tasting tax cut comes wrapped in the bitter pill of more military bloat.
Tax Cuts Without Spending Cuts? That’s Just Rearranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic
Let’s get this straight: I’ll always back tax cuts. The less the feds siphon from your wallet, the more freedom you have. But a tax cut without spending discipline is like cutting your calorie intake while pounding whiskey all night—you're not getting healthier, you’re just trading problems.
This bill increases military spending and tries to plug the fiscal hole by gutting Medicaid and food stamps. But even that shell game isn’t working. Moderates are balking, and without real cuts, the bill will balloon the debt by at least $3.3 trillion. And guess who picks up the tab? Not the lobbyists. Not the defense contractors. You.
Military Spending: The Real Welfare for the Rich
The biggest welfare queens in America wear stars and stripes on their lapels and collect checks from Raytheon and Lockheed. The military-industrial complex is the ultimate corporate welfare program—unchecked, unaccountable, and endlessly funded.
You want to offset tax cuts? Don’t start with the poor. Start with the trillion-dollar budget used to bomb deserts, prop up dictators, and feed contractors with bottomless defense contracts. Trump’s rhetoric in the Middle East may sound anti-neocon, but if his budget says “$1 trillion for war,” then the war machine is alive and well.
The Fed: The Hidden Tax Factory
Here’s the libertarian bottom line: if you don’t cut spending, the debt grows. And when the debt grows, the Fed steps in to “help” by printing more money. That’s the inflation tax—a silent thief that robs your purchasing power, erodes savings, and enriches the elite.
The Fed isn’t just a central bank. It’s the great enabler of the welfare-warfare state. Every time they fire up the money printer, they devalue your labor and subsidize more empire-building. Ending the Fed isn’t optional—it’s survival.
How to Actually Save the Republic
If Congress had a spine—or a clue—it would take Ron Paul’s advice to heart:
- Cut military spending by the billions, if not trillions.
- Audit the Fed. Then end it.
- Repeal the 16th Amendment and kill income taxes at the root.
- Phase out welfare programs with dignity, but stop expanding them.
This isn’t radical. It’s the only way out. Slashing government spending isn’t just about budgets—it’s about peace, prosperity, and sovereignty.
Wake Up Before They Print Us Into Oblivion
Moody’s downgrade is a symptom. The real disease is the bipartisan addiction to war, welfare, and debt monetization. If you’re still stuck in the left-right circus, you’re missing the script. It’s not about who’s in power. It’s about how much power they wield—and how much they steal while you’re distracted.
