Former Vice President Joe Biden promised that he would lead America to “trunalimunumaprzure” during his last campaign pit stops in the final days of the 2020 presidential election.

I have to ask, is this where we want to go?

I’m serious, as much as I’m laughing at the strange new word Biden uttered during his campaign speech.

Just listen to what he said below before he trailed off into silence and then imagine a Kamala Harris leftist administration.

I’ll lead an effective strategy to mobilize trunalimunumaprzure,

Joe Biden

“I’ll lead an effective strategy to mobilize trunalimunumaprzure,” said Biden.

It’s actually very concerning because it isn’t a one time thing. It’s just another one of a litany of gaffes, confusing phrases and blank stares we’ve witnessed over the past year.

The Democrats – along with those pretend double agent Republicans with the Lincoln Party – want to gaslight America and threaten that they’ll call us conspiracy theorists if we say anything about the former Vice President.

I say, who cares what the Democrats and these never- Trump haters say or what they threaten. We can see the gaffes and problems for ourselves and we have enough common sense to know when something is wrong.

That is, unless Biden can explain what “trunalimunumaprzure” strategy actually is and then put it into action.

The Looming National Debt Crisis: The Uncomfortable Truth No One Wants to Discuss

As Republican candidates gather for a debate, the skeleton in the closet remains the ballooning national debt, a subject that’s largely been relegated to the shadows of political discourse.

While the candidates may briefly touch upon the issue and offer surface-level solutions, the uncomfortable truth is that addressing the national debt’s growing burden would require difficult, unpopular choices. Candidates find themselves in a precarious position, tasked with both solving the problem and securing votes, all within the constraints of a 90-second debate response.

Since surpassing the $33 trillion debt threshold, the United States has been accruing over $800 million in new debt every hour, adding more than $2 billion daily in interest payments. The most recent debt ceiling bill has suspended any cap on this debt until January 2025, casting a long shadow over the nation’s future freedom and prosperity.

Democrats have occasionally pointed to the “Trump Tax Cuts” as a driver of the deficit. However, the tax cuts did stimulate economic growth and resulted in record-high Treasury revenues, albeit without corresponding spending cuts.

One feasible solution begins with fixing the federal budget process, though it is by no means an easy task. Nonetheless, it would substantially rein in Congress’s control over the spending pie chart. A recent Heritage study revealed that only 10 percent of the $7.5 trillion in COVID-related spending actually went to healthcare. The remaining 90 percent, charged as overhead and other expenses, underscores the need for significant reform.

According to reports from Fox News, while the discretionary budget, including debt interest payments and defense spending, constitutes less than 25 percent of overall expenditures and continues to shrink, the true driver of federal deficits lies in mandatory, programmatic spending. These are expenditures Congress does not address annually but continues unabated.

Furthermore, they encompass popular transfer programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, student loans, and healthcare initiatives like Obamacare, among countless others. Altering these programs involves a political third rail, a risk few presidential candidates are willing to take.

Mandatory, programmatic expenditures are perpetual and don’t undergo annual scrutiny or adjustment. There is virtually no constituency for tackling these fundamental issues, despite their role as the primary drivers of the nation’s fiscal challenges.

Many citizens believe that trimming discretionary spending, such as congressional salaries or foreign aid, or rooting out “waste, fraud, and abuse,” can resolve the debt problem. While these are valid concerns, the real target for reform should be mandatory, programmatic spending to ensure the sustainability of essential programs.

The Republican candidates vying for the nomination face a daunting question: Who among them possesses the courage and leadership to make the unpopular decisions necessary to restore fiscal responsibility to the nation’s future?

On the other side of the aisle, Democrats seem unlikely to embrace responsible spending as part of their agenda, leaving the issue largely unaddressed in their political DNA.

In a political landscape dominated by divisive issues and partisan debates, the national debt looms as the silent crisis that few are willing to confront.

The path to fiscal responsibility requires acknowledging the harsh reality that popular programs must also be on the table for reform. Only then can America hope to secure a stable financial future for its citizens.
