I read with great interest in the Ruidoso News the article written by Representative Elaine Sena Cortez of Hobbs, District 62 New Mexico addressing the far left Democrats. Whereby describing the far left as what some call Socialist and others call Communist party ideals and agendas.
In both stigma names attached to the far left democratic party leaders; followers believe the government should give you a home, a job, and food to eat. That the government can handle your business better than you can. So carefully let us examine that for just a moment.
The government shutdown in Washington D.C. is now into a month old stalemate in our U.S. Congress. The Democratic Party leadership has placed the wedge into the votes against opening up the government describing it as “their leverage”.
So let us examine this more openly.
The so-called Socialist/Communist ideal is in view for every American to now see and feel.
Thousands of government employees not being paid or working. Thousands depending on food from their paychecks now gone or the snap program to put food on the table for their family. Many of those can no longer pay their mortgage and many affected in government housing.
This should all be a wake-up call to every American. This is your very real and personal Socialist or Communist agenda for you to not only see but feel. No job, loss of housing ownership, no food. How is this government shut down working out for many Americans? It was said 42 million Americans loss of work by the federal employer. Possible as many depending on the SNAP program to feed their family.
In my view we are just getting a taste of the real Socialist Party agenda/leadership in your self well being. This is exactly how socialist/communist country’s are operated. They control your job, your housing, and your food. Americans can now get an actual taste of how socialism “really works”. View any socialist country and you see this as every day life.
When you see any politicians pushing the socialist agenda, look closely at the Government shutdown today to get a feel of how this country would really be operated.
