Elmore: The Economy is Not Resilient—it’s on a Government-Fueled Sugar-High
by Amp America | Apr 16, 2024 | Opinion

By Daniel Elmore

Late last month, the Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed their final revision for gross domestic product in 2023, coming above expectations. Yet, while federal officials celebrate the “resilient economy,” the numbers show an alarming trend.

With a $189 billion expansion over the final three months of the year, the most recent GDP figures initially suggest a favorable economic outlook, potentially averting a recession. However, this apparent growth was primarily stimulated by government expenditures and transfers, which, in turn, rely on deficits. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that this expansion was largely sustained by a $834 billion increase in federal debt during the same period.


Unfortunately, such reckless spending will likely persist in Washington, preventing a recession in the short term until it inevitably leads to a crisis when the bills must be paid.

This comes as Congress passed a $1.2 trillion omnibus spending bill to fund more than half of the government until September 30th, the end of the federal government’s fiscal year. Exceeding well over 1,000 pages, the legislation also funds a number of contentious initiatives such as the establishment of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center to help state and local governments “optimize” the use of red flag gun laws, as well as funding allocations for activist groups and earmarked pork projects.


While politicians bickered over the budget, the national debt surpassed $34.6 trillion as the country is running a yearly national deficit equivalent to approximately eight percent of gross domestic product. This spending level has become a permanent part of the budget, rather than just a temporary fluctuation due to a recession.

Just Like Democrats, Mike Johnson Supports An Open Border
Eddie Scarry

There’s a very simple logic to the Democrat position on Ukraine: Its continued welfare sponsored by American taxpayers is very important, but it’s not more important than maintaining an open Southern border for the world’s criminal and destitute to flood the nation (again, sponsored by American taxpayers).

We know that’s the indisputable Democrat position because while they, including the Biden White House, insist there’s nothing more urgent than sending tens of billions dollars more to Ukraine, they’re not willing to do so if it means blocking the access of a single illegal alien to America’s interior. After months of negotiating a matter that shouldn’t require more than a second’s worth of debate, Democrats put forward a bill that legalized the unauthorized entry of up to 5,000 aliens per day. That’s how serious they are about keeping the border agape.

It’s an untenable position, yet that brings us to House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican who has stunningly revealed himself this week to hold the exact same position. Immediately after he was elected to lead the House and his party, Johnson emphatically stated in public multiple times that solving the border crisis, both instigated and exacerbated by the president, was not just a priority but mandatory.

“Any national security package has to begin with the security of our own border… We have to effect real policy change at the border, and that is a necessary condition to anything we do going forward,” Johnson said on December 6, 2023.

And which one let Newsom and Cuomo lock the country down in March 2020 again? Spare me all this talk about how he's least dangerous. He crossed a line. I will never forget nor forgive him, especially since he's never said he was sorry.

Who should have stopped Newsom and Cuomo @jmyrlefuller ?

We should support or oppose actions, and defend or criticize statements, based not upon who did or said it, but upon the substance.  And that seems to have been lost by many, especially the die-hard MAGA types.
