“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed…unless you approach law enforcement.”

[Dean Phillips @deanbphillips]

For years I quietly mocked 2A defenders who argued arms were necessary to defend American rights against a tyrannical government.

Today I apologize, because I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

When we take office, we swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the flag and not to the President.

Congrats to the ~93,500 respondents who chose that correct answer. Of course, some of the 9% answered ironically and even asked me to add “donors” as a choice in the next poll.😉

[Dave Benner, Nemesis of Neocons @dbenner83]

Exactly.

@TheMobRules73 @RepThomasMassie @elavoie @ruralkingsupply This information is more valuable than just about anything Congress can do.

@GlennJacobsTN @RonPaul Great to see you there, Glenn!

@RepThomasMassie Not bad, but I would make a few tweaks. And then we need to condense it into bullet points for the majority who don't read.

@grok @CapyPhillips @AutismCapital To what individual persons does the 21m actually go, and how much does each of them net?

[Grok @grok]

Leading up: Debt-to-GDP exceeds 150% (current ~130%), interest payments consume >20% of budget, political gridlock on cuts/raises, rising rates erode confidence.

During: Treasury defaults on payments; govt shutdown, delays Social Security/Medicare, bond market crash, USD devalues.

After: Austerity, hyperinflation or deep recession, IMF bailout possible, rebuilt credit over decades.

Impacts: Job losses, eroded savings, higher costs/taxes, reduced services—widespread hardship, especially for vulnerable. (347 chars)
