Our national debt sits at $40 trillion, and Washington still hands out taxpayer-funded welfare to those here illegally.

My End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act ends federal funding for programs like TANF, Medicaid, and SNAP for refugees, asylees, and illegal aliens.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@RandPaul Of the $40 trillion; $10 trillion on war since 2001 $10 trillion on waste, fraud and abuse. This does not include benefit payments to non-citizens. The evils are becoming sufferable; this is a long train of abuse.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Some of my colleagues should take note.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@StealthQE4 Trump called this out. The system is too big. I believe it sucked him in.
The people 'are more disposed to suffer, while the evils are sufferable' It's been a 'long train of abuses and usurpations' We need a new Guards for our future security.

Dylan’s rant as promised.

This was 15 years ago in 2011 after the GFC.

He basically nailed everything that’s coming home to roost today:

@oelma__ Tipping is a relic of the post-Civil War era. Newly freed slaves were paid little or nothing. The ownness was on the customer to supplement the workers' pay. It shouldn't be a thing. Bad service=bad tip

@KenPaxtonTX @JDVance @marcorubio Help me understand; if communism leads to death & destruction, when they take power because republicans are weak, they'll destroy the US. @glennbeck said revolution would be the worst thing for this country. Worse than starvation? Or death camps?

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@glennbeck @POTUS I was disappointed to learn he didn't realize this was an issue. I like the president, I don't believe this will go anywhere. I knew this was a problem, his team knows this is an issue. Nothing has been done about it, because they don't want to. Someone doesn't want to.

If we want to get serious about paying down our debt, my Penny Plan is the way to go. Cut six cents from every $1 the federal government spends, across the board, and we can balance the budget in under 10 years.

It’s possible if we’re willing to do the work.

Why are property taxes skyrocketing?…

1) local elected officials are setting tax rates higher that last year’s effective rate (called the NNR) 😡

2) the Texas Legislature authorized these tax hikes 😡

3) last session’s “property tax relief” bills were scams. 😡

I warned everyone.

ICE will be spending upwards of $20M for "Shock Gloves" to help de-escalate confrontations with illegal immigrants, according to the AP.

The "G.L.O.V.E." is manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC, based in Kentucky.

"70% of officers killed with firearms are shot within 10 feet. The G.L.O.V.E. gives officers a non-lethal option at exactly that distance, bringing resisting subjects into compliance in seconds, without lasting harm to anyone involved," their website says.

In 2024, the Fed paid $187 billion in interest to banks for essentially not lending money to families or small businesses. The Fed has operated under a cloak of secrecy for far too long. It's time for a full audit of the Federal Reserve.

@LeaderJohnThune Pass the save act Thune.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@oelma__ That's a scary photo.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@SenSanders Rights don't come at the expense of others. The ACA was sold to fix the healthcare system. It only caused rate increases and fewer options. Your plan: give the government more money to manage healthcare. Congress hasn't passed a budget in years, increases deficit spending. NOPE

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@SenSchumer One of your favorite traditions? Insane.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@JohnKasich Wow, TDS got you too? America First. You exemplify what's wrong with the country. You come off as a 90's democrat. We've rejected that.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts Pass the SAVE ACT John.

[Christopher Wood @Christophe50189]

@LeaderJohnThune Pass the SAVE ACT. Bring it up for a vote. We want names.
