The Decline of A Nation

Mar 2, 2025

The Senate can only lose two votes and still pass a budget. The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson (R-LA), cannot afford to lose one more vote and get a budget passed by next Friday. This is because Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) always vote against his budget bills.

Scottish Judge Alexander Fraser Tytler warned:

A democracy ... can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result that the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

What he predicted could happen to America. We are on the tipping point fighting for the survival of our nation for future generations. Already, we are spending about 3.3 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY IN INTEREST.

We MUST reduce spending.

Please make your voice heard on Capitol Hill to urge Congress to seize this opportunity and make significant budget cuts NOW.

Right now, the fourth largest expense in the federal government is solely the interest from our national debt. The interest payments could top 13 TRILLION over the next 10 years.

A former member of Joe Biden’s presidential transition team landed a job for a private contractor, “Family Endeavors.” In early 2021, he helped the organization secure a sole-source Health and Human Services (HHS) contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities to accommodate unaccompanied migrant minors.

In just three years, the nonprofit’s cash and investments went from 8 million to a whopping 520 million dollars. It cost HHS 18 million a month to keep the overflow facility open — despite remaining nearly empty! HHS has now terminated the facility contract, saving taxpayers 216 million dollars!

The point is Congress must slash the budget. There is plenty to cut. Let’s get this done.

There is SO much fraud, waste, and abuse.

This is not sustainable. With the impending budget deadline, urge Congress to use the budget reconciliation to slash spending and outrageous waste throughout our government to avoid more debt.

The head of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) found 2 BILLION in costs for “organizational culture training.” Those costs provided outside help to prepare PowerPoints, note-taking in meetings, “coaching and training,” and “executive support.”

“Take your own notes. Wow. I’ll send you one of my pencils, if you need one,” pointed out Doug Collins, the new VA secretary, on X. He continued, “I love you and I support you, but we can figure out how to do things on our own. We don’t need outside people coming into help us with ‘executive support.’”

Urge Congress to wake up and discover exactly where government funds are going — and stop this harmful spending.

Our team is working every day on Capitol Hill. Last week, we met with staff, legislators, and congressional leadership on important bills. Our unique style of blending investigative reporting and policy analysis helps deepen these key relationships to make a significant impact both nationally and internationally. When you support Liberty Counsel Action, you play a key role in this ministry.

Judge Tytler again warns:

[N]ations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

We cannot fall into apathy and dependence! Now is the time to rise up and demand results to restore our nation. When you support our ministry, you help turn the tide on this overwhelming government spending.
