America, the world’s piggy bank, is broken, empty, and 37 trillion dollars in debt

The United States of America is God’s second-best gift to the world. No country in history has given more of her people’s blood and her taxpayers’ treasure to support other nations all over the globe. In times of war, America helps. In times of natural disasters, America is standing by to help. What in the American culture and society prompted America’s willingness to expose her citizens and treasure to be so outgoing and selfless in helping others?
To begin to understand, it is important to remember that America’s founding was initiated by Christian refugees from Northern Europe. From 1620 to 1900, the primary textbook in America was the Christian Bible. Early Americans were following the teachings of God’s greatest gift to the world, His Son, Jesus Christ. Therein lies the very foundation of the American way of life.
Before I proceed, I must digress to deflect potential “what about this and what about that,” kinds of questions. Throughout the history of mankind, one peoples have been conquering other peoples all over the globe. World history books devote volume after volume with detailed study of this fact. Starting in 1492, when Europeans first came to the Americas, they came as conquerors.
From the southernmost tip of South America to the northernmost tip of North America, the newly arrived Europeans had their sights set on conquering the newly found western hemisphere. The process wasn’t pretty, but it was only repeating what has gone on throughout human history, and indigenous people be damned. The official language in every nation in the Americas is a European language. What is identified as the United States of America was no different.
It wasn’t until the 20th century that the United States came into its own as a world power. America’s participation in WWI was the first recognition for America on the world stage. Then after WWII, the United States became a world super-power. After WWII, America also did something completely unheard of in human history. America helped rebuild the defeated enemy nations and the nations of our European and Asian allies. This was the beginning of America being the world’s piggy bank.
Since WWI, there is not one nation on the planet that America hasn’t helped financially in some way at some point in time. Even our most vehement enemies of today—Russia, Communist China, North Korea, and Iran—have been beneficiaries of America’s largess in the past. When has any country come to the financial aid of the United States of America? And we wonder why America has a national debt exceeding 37 trillion dollars.
Since WWII, America has been burdened with a disparity in international tariffs in addition to charitable largess that was spread all over the world. Foreign nations gladly accepted the aid provided whether needed or not. Sadly, much of this charity was a misguided effort by politicians to buy friends and allies. For the most part, there were more failures than successes using financial aid as a political strategy. Many countries receiving financial aid smiled to America’s face and then engaged in very anti-American efforts behind our backs. America has been viewed a fool by these countries, and the U.S. was foolish.
It has taken a businessman in the White House to make Americans realize that the nation of the United States of America is the biggest business in the world. Granted, it is a business with responsibilities beyond a commercial business, but a business none the less. The business of America has income and expenses, and as with any business, when expenses exceed income, there is tragedy somewhere in the future. The DOGE team exposed the reality that the business called the United States of America was experiencing massive embezzlement called waste, fraud and abuse. Taxpayer money, not government money, was and is being spent in ways most taxpayers don’t approve of.
On November 5, 2024, America elected a new President or CEO if you will. This CEO had clear direction, from We the People, to clean up and clear out corruption in the taxpayers’ government. It isn’t the President’s government, it isn’t the Congress’ government, and it certainly isn’t the Federal Court’s government. It is the people’s government and the people’s money that pays for the government.
The first thing President (CEO) Trump did was to say NO MORE! America simply cannot afford to be the world’s piggy bank. America cannot afford unfair trade tariffs. America cannot afford to defend all the countries it historically supported. America can no longer afford unfettered financial largess. It is time to stop the world from living in America’s basement. Daddy says it is time to move out.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court finally manned up and put the rouge Federal District judges in their place, President Trump and his team can finally focus their full attention to fixing what is broken in America, as the voters demanded last November. It is sad that American taxpayers had to divert funds to fight those rouge judges. I hope action is taken to defrock these judges for knowingly violating their oath of office. Politics should never ever trump the constitution as was demonstrated by these jurists.
Ronald Reagan, as the strongest President of the post-Vietnam era, unquestionably made America the leader of the Free World. George H.W. Bush showed weakness and the nation’s status slipped. Bill Clinton was an embarrassment, and America slipped further. Clinton was also the one who made it possible for September 11, 2001.
George W. Bush was the right man for the job at the time, but he was more of a globalist than an America first kind of guy. Barack Obama is a closet anti-American Islamist and a disappointment to a majority of those who wanted a successful first Black President, because he simply set back race relations 30 years. President Trump 45 was fresh air for America and the most pro-America President since Harry Truman. However, he was hobbled by the Deep State and traitors within the White House, but even at that, he accomplished more than any President since Reagan. Lastly, whoever was behind the curtain running Joe Biden did more damage to America and the world than any President in modern history, and the level of blatant greed and corruption was astounding.
Thank God America now has President Trump 47. He learned his lessons well from his first term in office. In less than six months, he has undone much of the damage done by both Obama and Biden. America is once again the clear leader of the Free World. President Donald J. Trump is clearly the-adult-in-the-room president focused on having the world pay its own way without depending on American taxpayers to subsidize them.
America, the world’s piggy bank, is broken, empty, and 37 trillion dollars in debt. President Trump and his team are well on their way to correcting the situation. And in less than six months, America is great again, America is safer again, America is healthier again, and America is well on its way toward reducing its debt.
Will We the People be able to keep it? Much will be foretold in the 2026 mid-term elections.
