    Government regulations support big businesses, leaving small businesses struggling so our production is being concentrated in larger and larger companies. Government contracts require extensive paperwork which favors big companies who have the staff to complete it. When I worked for the Area Agency on Aging, we had one company that mowed lawns in the entire…

    When I was young, America was the greatest economic power on earth because it produced far beyond our ability to consume and exported food and goods throughout the world and money flowed in bringing great prosperity. Factories worked at peak capacity providing an abundance of jobs. Today, the United States has been reduced to a…

    When it comes to actual use of funds, private agencies look at possible resources and determine if there is a need, while public agencies just determine eligibility. One size doesn’t fit all as different clients have different needs based on their circumstances. Depending on expenses, someone may meet the eligibility guidelines but not need it…

    There is a feeling of many government workers that if private agencies get the funds, it will take funds from government agencies and result in widespread layoffs.

    -I was in a meeting once where the subject of government assistance came up because the fight over cutting assistance or maintaining it came up. I made a comment about our agency possibly losing our government assistance. A man from another organization (a supposedly Christian organization) then spoke up and said to me “you’ve already…

    The Bible says that there will be a world dictator who will seize control in the last days but it does not say when it will occur. It could be any time. For that to happen, there must be a world-wide crisis that will force the nations to unite under one world government. President Obama…

    We are now seeing that massive amounts of the money spent during President Biden’s term were siphoned off by fraudulent businesses. A lot of it was in Democrat controlled States. If Democrats did not direct it, they certainly allowed it by not bothering to check where the money went. In addition, some Democrat politicians in…

    Most Americans have  very little understanding of basic economics because it is no longer taught in many schools. Many support Democrats who push massive new spending to benefit the American people. They say it won’t cost the average American because they will be taxing the rich and large corporations. It sounds nice but ignores basic…

    Liberals under President Biden passed the $20 billion dollar “Inflation Reduction Act” in 2022 and it was signed into law. They promoted it as a great success. However, you need to be aware of what they have succeeded in doing. They passed out a massive amount of money in the form of free benefits to…
