General Election 2024

Here is what you are voting for if Biden is re-elected.

"New York City spends approximately $8 million per day to care for the migrants. The fact that the estimate is from May is an important distinction; a March 2023 estimate pegged the daily cost at $5 million per day. In November 2022, the city estimated spending slightly less than $600 million annually on services for border crossers. By January, that figure had more than tripled to $2 billion. The next month, the figure more than doubled again to $4.2 billion.

New York City receives 2,200 asylum seekers per week, all of whom are housed and fed at taxpayers’ expense."

Put this in perspective for the whole country and another 4 year term will cost the US trillions of dollars that you don't have. China doesn't need to invade, the US is willing bankrupt itself so it can feel it is somehow "making a difference" in the world.

I did a quick couple searches to see some of his older views.

He's definitely left.

But seems to have a good heart.

No one in the Kennedy family supports his vaccine views. Not even his wife.

The race is between a weakening Biden and Kennedy. No one else is stepping up and their bench is weak.

Kennedy is considered a hero in New York State, having preserved and cleaned the majestic 315 mile long Hudson River.

'Riverkeeper has taken on many of the nation’s biggest industrial polluters and won, because when there’s a battle over water quality on the Hudson, you led and inspired Riverkeeper to stay in it, for as long as it takes, to secure clean water and safe places to swim, fish and boat.'

What if I absolutely do not care whatsoever how much the government spends on anything?

Be prepared then for your life to change permanently for the worse, much worse. The US will just become a second tier country with a poor standard of living and street crime that will make todays streets seem perfect. Maybe if you are lucky Russia will bail you out.

At this rate, most of us will be conservative in a couple of years or so.
