There is no free S@#T from the government! If someone is promising you free S@#T they lie...

We often see a lot of people promising free things. People tend to eat it up and say "Elect that guy! He's giving us free stuff!", or "That billionaire is smart, he's saying people should get paid regardless of what they do... he should run for president.".

Get this through your head. If the government is promising you something FREE they are lying. Someone pays for it. Since the government doesn't actually produce anything but laws, war, and waste that someone is either more DEBT or YOU.

When they are promising free things they are saying in effect, "You can have your free X which we will pay for by going to every person in your town and stealing Y extra dollars from them."

YAY!!!! YOU SHOULD BE PRESIDENT.

Wake up people!

The government cannot give you anything for free.

They get it by stealing from other people.

I can hear it now "But taxes are not stealing!!" If they are taking it from ME to pay for your education, your healthcare, or your Universal Basic Income then YES it is stealing. I did not authorize them to take my money. They just do. If I refuse they will fine me, if I refuse to pay the fine they will throw me in jail, and if I resist going to jail they will most likely kill me. Sounds like stealing to me.

So when you authorize someone to give you free things you are authorizing them to increase taxes and steal more from people.

It get's worse.

The government is absolutely horrible at spending your money responsibly. So they will steal your money and then they will hire some more people to sit on their ass, some of those people might enjoy watching porn while be paid with your money. By the time they get around to actually PAYING for your free thing a fraction of your money will be there.

Do you know what would be more effective than having the government do it?

Get a bunch of people together an crowd source paying for whatever you need done. People building a program will eliminate a huge amount of waste and it'll cost you less.

If it costs you more and you can't do it, what does that tell you? Think hard.

If the government is wasteful, and doesn't really produce anything and they take more taxes to give you something "free" and if you were to pool people together in crowd sourcing and that amount of money from all of you couldn't pay for it... what does that mean?

It means they paid for it with DEBT or they stole from some other program like Obama did with Obamacare.

So let me ask you a question...

If you want something really free... Would you go out and get a credit card, buy what you need, and then give me the credit card and authorize me to use it?

Hopefully the answer is no.

So why do you let the government do it?

Do you realize every time they talk about the government shutting down what is happening? Their credit cards (euphemism in this case but similar in concept) are maxed out. They can't pay for things.

A normal person would start looking at their budget and cancelling things they could absolutely live without and they'd find a way to slowly get out of debt.

So Washington and the media whine about government shut down and tell you about all the horrible things that will happen, and they intentionally close down ALL the national parks which a couple of decades ago you could enter any time you needed to without any special gates. So now they close the parks so people panic and say "It's because of the government shutdown" while they have MANY dumb ass programs that cost way more than the parks that do not shut down.

It is all about manipulating the people to demand that the new agreement be authorized.

So what does that mean? They get a fresh new credit card, or they convince the creditor to RAISE their limit.

So there is no responsible spending. Let them shut down... I mean let them really do it. They have to survive too. Maybe for once in a very long time they'll actually get serious about reducing expenses...

"but the debt is already too high..."

You're right. The money they steal mostly goes to pay interest.

So why are you asking them to give you more free things? Why are you rushing to embrace any politician or billionaire who promises you more free services, funds, etc?

Do you think more debt is going to help? Would it help you if you were in their place?

Wake up. Stop getting excited over promises of FREE things from the government. That is almost an oxymoron, or perhaps it is. Either find a way to do it yourself, or organize and try crowd sourcing it. If you can find a way to do what is needed without the government you'll be much better off. I mean think about steemit. This is the closet thing to free money I've ever seen. I mean I need to put forth effort and make posts, but I enjoy it, and many of us would do that for free.

If you can't. Find a way to survive. Asking the government to do it is not going to improve things for you in the long run... that is just pulling up planks at the other end of the boat to try to nail them over the hole at the end you are sitting in.
