You earned every dollar.

Has our government earned your trust with what they do with it?
We debate the powers of government endlessly, but the real question is simpler:
When they spend your money, do they honor ‘We the People’ — or betray it?
“We the People… to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…”
Every dollar misused on pork projects, political favors, or special interests is theft.
Theft from your family, your community, your security, your retirement, and your children’s future.
Federal watchdogs and independent oversight reports have uncovered billions of dollars wasted or misused each year.
Not hidden. Not alleged. Documented.
And yet the response from the grifting class is not to fix it — but to fight.
Think about it –
This is NOT the first time independent auditors, watchdogs, or commissions have put a microscope on government spending and government employment.  It is just the first time a president has had the backbone to do it as he promised.
Today, special interests are even suing the government in our own courts — battling to keep their ill-gotten gains, while the people’s needs are left behind.
Theft hidden by law is still theft.
It erodes the Republic.
It fuels debt.
It feeds inflation.
It starves the very promises the Constitution demands government fulfill.
Ronald Reagan warned us plainly:
Government isn’t the solution. Government is the problem.
If the government shut down tomorrow, would you mourn the lost corruption?
Or would you finally feel the power returning to where it always belonged —
to ‘We the People.’
Your money. Your work. Your America. Take it back.
