Colonel Macgregor’s view isn’t quite as upbeat as Joe’s. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
“I want to respectfully present an alternative view of the State of The Union,” retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor said in a video posted on X.
Macgregor begins by explaining how the Constitution mandates that the government promote the general welfare. This obligates Washington to secure the basic necessities of life, such as energy, food, and shelter.
“Regrettably, the current administration is failing to perform these tasks,” Macgregor said.
The combat war veteran and former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense under the Trump administration, who is now the CEO of the media company “Our Country, Our Choice,” said Biden claims the economy is booming but noted that “much of it comes from government spending and employment,” adding that the government share of GDP is 42%—including federal, state, and local spending.
“This outrageous share is similar to what it was in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s—before the collapse. Rampant inflation stemming from this government share of the economy makes it difficult for families to buy nutritious food,” Macgregor said.
He touched on runaway inflation, which has decimated households in recent years, indicating that families are struggling to survive in the era of failed Bidenomics.
Macgregor segways into an ominous warning that ZeroHedge readers have understood for years: “Our national security is compromised.”
He warned about broken supply chains, power plants, and manufacturing facilities lacking critical spare parts. He blasted “ill-conceived domestic policies” that have sparked widespread job loss and homelessness.
This guy is as full of shit as the Democrats. He greatly misunderstands the “general welfare” clause. I don’t need an idiot to tell me the intent of the Constitution that I know better than he does.
I remember Mike Pence holding a speech in Israel and saying : ~we must be thankful to the jewish people because we were pure and they taught us how to be prosperous~
Do you feel prosperous?
