Ignoring The Past & Logic

We are living in crazy times. They say those that don't learn from the past repeat the mistakes of the past.  Evidently, Joe Biden has the memory of a gnat because America is repeating a lot of mistakes from the past. The trillions of dollars that the government is spending has to be paid for in increased taxes and the Great Depression became worst when taxes were increased greatly. When corporate taxes increased, companies left America and nations with lower corporate tax rates attracted more investment capital.  So of course we're going to repeat those mistakes.

For some reason, Democrats think things will be different. AOC thinks spending trillions more is required. When America has an economic crash and the inflation rate is higher than her IQ, will the people who sent her to Washington want to keep her there for the great job she has done and what she will potentially do to make their lives a living Hell? She already denied thousands of people jobs in her district by not allowing Amazon to open a distribution center there. I wouldn't be surprised if someday they hang her in effigy.

We have a border crisis because Joe Biden invited the multitudes to come to America. He told them to rush the border and they obeyed. Maybe he hasn't been to the border because too many people will be thanking him for asking them to come and he will have to lie to them that they should have waited.  

Pelosi and Schumer want one-party rule and Joe Biden is calling election reform in Georgia and Texas worse than Jim Crow. Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had one-party rule and we know how well that turned out. The reforms in Georgia and Texas were needed to avoid the election nightmare of November happening again. If what is being done in those states worse than Jim Crow and Democrats hanged blacks who tried to exercise their Constitutional right to vote, then that would mean black voters are going to be shot down as they stand in line to vote. The reforms will make elections fairer. If needing identification is racist, then I guess when a black patrolman pulled me over several years ago and asked to see my driver's license it was reverse racism. Blacks are not idiots. If they know they need ID to vote, they'll get it.  

Democrats want to pay reparations to blacks. If they can prove remaining in Africa would mean they would be financially better off, maybe they would deserve reparations.  Paying illegal immigrants reparation like AOC wants makes no sense at all. Neither does making America a socialist nation with all the examples of failure make sense. America won't exist if  Democrat insanity defeats logic and history is ignored.
