Perhaps you may remember a movie or two where the dastardly coward sells out his mates, you know the bad guy usually wearing a black hat in the old westerns, and sometimes wearing a grey hat in more modern appearances.
They would say we have been sold out, meaning an act of treason against the group as a whole.
Has that in fact happened to the US?
Have we been sold out by congress, regardless of how many of them we vote out of office are we just throwing mud against a wall?
With the latest news that we now owe more money over the last two years than our entire economy and that hyper inflation is coming, soon we may begin to see people starving in our own streets as we ship off food to help people in other nations eat.
Have we been sold out?
When we spend 1.5 billion dollars in assisting other nations afford medication while our own population are dying because they cannot get the medications they need to survive.
Have we been sold out?
When we supply other nations with arms, and they decide to later use those arms against us.
Have we been sold out?
The answer is all too clear, the answer is yes and the cost of this treasonous activity is going to be severe.
Hunger, famine, and pestilence, again it sounds like a movie.
But the truth is that while we seem to help everyone in the world we cannot help our own people, that my friends is selling out to the highest bidder and that is wrong no matter how you slice it dice is or spin it, it is wrong to ignore your own problems while worrying about everyone in the world.
