The largest budget category is Social Security at 21%. It is followed by four categories each at 13%. One of those four is interest on the national debt. Think of that—tied for the second largest expenditure of the federal government is interest. The larger problem is that it will only increase unless we begin to rein it in.

Finally, the largest issue with our debt is that it is being serviced by printed/ digitally created currency. The currency creation is of the utmost importance because the ability to create currency out of thin air gives our Federal Government virtually unlimited power. The ability to create currency is quite literally the single greatest threat to our individual freedoms.

What Say Ye?

First, our economic health has been severely weakened. Our nation was already a teetering ship economically prior to the forced lockdowns and shutdown of the world economy, but thanks to the governmental response and our collective acceptance of it, our national debt increased nearly 9 Trillion Dollars—5 Trillion of that was from 2020 alone. Our supply chain was severely disrupted, and the economic pump still needs some priming in order to get it flowing again.

Secondly our children’s academic health has suffered. Face masks inhibit communication. Young children learning to speak and read missed valuable opportunities to learn proper articulation, pronunciation, and facial and emotional discernment because of the masks. Children literally missed several months to a year or more in their academic progress. This loss will be nearly impossible to overcome and will cause less productivity and innovation in our nation’s future.

Thirdly, our mental health suffered. Isolation, lack of human contact and touch, less social interaction— these lead to depression, anxiety, loneliness, and other maladies of the mind. Humans are social creatures in need of contact. We became a nation of scaredy cats (or were revealed as one). The forced lockdowns did severe, and possibly, irreparable harm to our collective mental health.

What about our spiritual health? Churches were shut down-even when they made very reasonable accommodations to the pandemic—like meeting outside or in cars in a parking lot. The government overreach was despicable!

Finally, our physical health suffered. Children missed already scheduled vaccinations because of closed medical offices, adults missed diagnostic tests, screenings, and regular checkups that could have prevented cancer, heart problems, stroke, diabetes…. Was the health trade worth it? I say no. Should we have implemented common sense practices to actually slow the spread? Absolutely! Wash your hands, stay home when feverish or likely contagious, sleep, exercise, take supplements, eat right—sure. But stay home, wear a mask, don’t touch, don’t visit grandma or friends—absolutely not!

I’m sure I missed some things as I am musing and rambling, but I need to express myself.

Nothing says I love freedom more than forcing someone to display their patriotism. Many have forgotten what freedom is in this country. Many think that sure you should be free, but as soon as you bring up something they personally oppose; they want a law. Our National Anthem is a prime example. I personally love our anthem, but I love what it represents far more than the anthem itself. Freedom is the liberty to do things that others may or may not like. Force is the opposite of freedom.

Of course, those opposite of the Nationalist Right have their own pet issues–the most recent is forced vaccination. I’m sure that those on the Illiberal Left will come up with all their reasons why forcing people to be vaccinated is actually freedom, but they are just as wrong as are those who want to force patriotism.

Persuasion is the answer. If I believe something strongly, I should attempt to convince you, but I should not try to get a law passed to make you adhere.

Roger Williams once wrote: “Forced worship stinks in the nostrils of God.” I can’t help but believe he would feel the same way about forced patriotism or forced medical treatments.
