There are no “Conservatives” in Washington

The men and women who call themselves “conservatives” in the 21st century are lying. True conservatives no longer exist. These liars and hypocrites talk a lot about “fiscal responsibility,” but their words are nothing more than hot air. They will continue to support and protect the outrageous wealth of our nation’s billionaires/oligarchs, while removing funds from the men and women who need them to perform the jobs for which they were elected.

One fact proves everything I claim about the once Grand Old Party: Donald Trump is the most expensive political toy in history.

Between 2017 and 2021, Trump used taxpayer money to constantly live the life of a real billionaire. The America people funded his play time with six million dollars every month he pretended to be your president. In a single term, he spent about 288 million dollars of your money. His failed fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics” added more than eight trillion dollars to the deficit. That number begins with a “T,” and has 12 zeros.

His waste of taxpayer money is even worse in 2025. Over his first 100 days, He played golf on at least 25 occasions, and traveled back and forth to Mar-a-Lago on his “old, personal aircraft,” Air Force One, at a cost of more than $200,000 per hour, not to mention all the other expenses involved. He is on pace to waste more than one billion dollars of taxpayer money over the next four years.

The Republican-dominated House of Representatives is engaged in an internal battle over Trump’s destructive tax bill. It is a disaster, ignoring any and all fiscal responsibility to the American people. Trump is demanding additional permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest men and women in our nation, while cutting funding for Medicare and Medicaid for millions of needy Americans. This is irrefutable proof that Trump is not an “American President.” He is a fascist and the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement.

Republicans talk about a “shadow government,” and we have proof that the government they complain about is them. Over the last 44 years, every American president labeled “Republican” has failed miserably when domestic policies are the focus of a conversation.

It started with Reagan in 1981 who began the failed policy of “trickle-down economics” and every “Republican” after him adopted the same fiscal policy and failed, adding trillions of dollars to the national debt, and a decrease in the quality of life for the majority.

Turn off the fucking “boob tube,” and learn the truth about our corrupt government, if not for yourself, for your children, grandchildren, ant their children, become an informed American.
