"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

THE FED TAKING IN RECORDS IN TAXES BUT STILL PUTS OUT AN INCREASE IN SPENDING OF THE PROJECTED 2016 $3.4 TRILLION IN TAXES BUT SPEND $3.9 TRILLION A DEFICIT OF $500 BILLION OF WHICH SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND THE NATIONAL DEBT WHICH NOW ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE ANNUAL FEDERAL SPENDING
Federal tax receipts for the first ten months of the fiscal year hit a new record in July, according to the Congressional Budget Office, reaching a total of $2.679 trillion by the end of the month. The figure comes with a couple of caveats: It sounds slightly better after adjusting for inflation, but the deficit sounds worse.
Total revenue represented a slight increase over 2015, according to the agency's monthly budget review, when the feds took in $2.672 trillion over the same period. But the federal deficit for the ten month period was much larger than last year. The feds this time took in $514 billion less than they spent spent, compared to $466 billion in 2015.
Adjusting for inflation, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the feds in the same period last year took in the equivalent of $2.717 trillion in 2016 dollars, while coming up short $473 billion.
Auditors said on Friday that the problem is expected to get worse before the fiscal year, which runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, ends in just under two months. Estimates at the beginning of the year projected the federal government would spend $3.9 trillion compared to $3.4 trillion in planned revenue, a difference of about $500 billion.
However, CBO analysts reported, the deficit is now expected to climb by at least $56 billion due to a decrease in expected revenue. That will bring the annual deficit closer to $600 billion, representing a vast increase over last year's total of $439 billion.
The growth in spending is attributable mainly to mandatory programs that include Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and interest on the national debt. Taken together, the areas account for roughly two-thirds of annual federal spending.

ARE YOU ALL TOO TAXED TOO MUCH AND THAT THE TAX IS JUST TOO D*NM HIGH THIS 2016 AS THE FED TAKES IN RECORD TAX COLLECTION - WELL HOLD YOUR HORSES - THE TRUMP AID CLAIMS TAX RELIEF IS ON THE WAY WITH THE BIGGEST TAX CUT SINCE REAGAN
Donald Trump will propose one of the biggest tax cuts since the days of Ronald Reagan in a new economic blueprint to be unveiled next week, according to an adviser to the Republican presidential candidate.
Trump will reiterate his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, Heritage Foundation chief economist Stephen Moore said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg Television. At the same time, Trump has managed to whittle down the cost in terms of lost tax revenue by about two-thirds, to $3 trillion, he said, without specifying a timeline.
“If you’re a working-class American, there’s no question that an agenda that cuts taxes, that gets rids of regulations, redoes some of these trade deals in ways that are pro-America, is going to help,” said Moore, who was named Friday to Trump’s team of economic advisers. Other members include financiers John Paulson and Andy Beal and economists David Malpass and Peter Navarro.

SO WHAT OF THE LEFTIST OWNED PLANNED PARENTHOOD SPRINKLED IN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS AS THE GUISE TO EXTERMINATE MINORITIES AND BLACKS ALL THESE MANY YEARS - THE ACT OF BRINGING CHAOS - AS BEN WATSON EXPRESSES THE OPINION THAT SUCH KILLINGS OF BABIES HAVE HARMED THE CHOICE OF MINORITIES OF WHICH MORE FAMILIES OF AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE ABORTED THAN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO CHOOSE TO LIVE ON THIS GREEN EARTH
Christian NFL player Benjamin Watson
has opened up about his views on abortion and how it factors into race
relations in America today.
In an hour-long interview for the San Diego-based Turning Point Pregnancy Resource Center's blog interview series, Watson, a devout Christian who often speaks out publicly on a wide range of racial and political issues, answered questions on whether race plays into the abortion debate, whether men should have any say over whether women get an abortion, and why he is pro-life.
Watson, the author of the book Under Our Skin, has frequently discussed the racial divide in America, whether in his book, Facebook posts or in media interviews.
In the second part of the interview, Watson gave great detail on how race factors into the issue of abortion. He pointed out that the abortion agenda seems to be focused primarily on minorities and how the nation's largest abortion business was founded by Margaret Sanger, who has often been accused of being a racist and a eugenicist.
"I do know that blacks kind of represent a large portion of the abortions, and I do know that honestly the whole idea with Planned Parenthood and Sanger in the past was to exterminate blacks, and it's kind of ironic that it's working," Watson said. "We [as minorities] support candidates, and overwhelmingly support the idea of having Planned Parenthood and the like, and yet, that is why she created it."
Watson criticized minorities for buying into the abortion agenda and suggested that black and hispanic pregnant teens are encouraged to get abortions rather than keep their babies.
"We are buying it hook, line, and sinker, like it's a great thing. It's just amazing to me and abortion saddens me, period. But it seems to be something that is really pushed on minorities and provided to minorities especially as something that they should do," Watson asserted. "In the public, it seems to be painted that when minorities get pregnant they need to get abortions, especially when it comes to teen pregnancy.
"It's like when black girls are pregnant, it's like a statistic, but when white girls get pregnant, they get a TV show," he added.
