Why can’t our know-it-all leaders run our government like most of us run our households? You don’t put yourself so far in debt that you never can pay it back.

What happens when 100% of your income is taken in taxes? Are we then living in slavery?

We have more homeless children than ever before. How did the stimulus money help them? Yet President Biden is allowing illegal immigrant children to come into our country. It costs us $775 a day to keep these children at holding sites.

The stimulus bill included $135 million each for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and $200 million for museums and libraries. How does this help? Will we house the homeless in museums? Will we put up artwork under bridges for the homeless instead of feeding them?

The bill provided $20 million to preserve and maintain native languages. So much pork that does not help one bit.

How many U.S. people who don’t need them were given stimulus checks? My check will be given out to people I know need help.

Many refugee families are given housing, food, medical care and money. Immigrants can get papers to work, and in some states, driver’s licenses and gun permits.

To all of you Bidenites, why not volunteer to take in some illegal immigrants for free? Then maybe I can keep some of my hard-earned money to feed those I love. U.S. citizens should always come first. How do you feel?
