A few. Believe it or not, Andrew Jackson was the only president who paid off the national debt. And that brings up a whole nother thing. You had the John Maynard Keynes. He's a friend of, you know, FDRs. And it was debt stimulated economy. So here we are, depression. And he comes up with this idea. Hey, it's.
It's okay for the government to go in debt to spend money in the private sector to create jobs. Those jobs will pay taxes, and the taxes will pay off the debt.

Sounds good on a chalkboard, but it never gets implemented because every generation of Congress says, hey, let's go in more debt so I can funnel money to my district to get votes, and then we'll let the next Congress decide how to pay it off. And so that's how there's even a guy named –

Buchanan, James Buchanan, and he won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1980 because he discovered what I just told you, that he's an economist. It's like, why are these guys getting us in debt, these congressmen? And he noticed that whenever they're up for reelection, they vote to increase the debt. And so he says politicians will do anything to get reelected.

And so and they hate trimming back the spending because they got to go back to their district and say, hey, no more pork projects. But so what Trump is doing, actually cutting back the fat, trimming it, getting rid of deep state. You're he's coming up against not just Democrats, but Rhino Republicans and people that have been entrenched in this government spending.

But I think he's going to be successful. And I am praying that he's successful. And I think that's why we have to support him. It may take, like Thomas Jefferson said, it may be the duty of all of us to have a little sacrifice to pay a little more for these goods so that we can encourage the manufacturing at home, get some of these factories back on American soil. And it's a doable thing.

And I think the good Lord has given us this opportunity and we need to support the president in it. It may take a few months, maybe a year for it to work through the entire system. When Milley took over in Argentina and they were he was in debt to the globalists, right? Argentina was and he cancels all that debt. And for a while it was a little bit of an upheaval.

Yeah, so the default setting for human government is gangs. And a gang leader with enough weapons, we call a king. And the first recorded instance of this was Nimrod, Tower of Babel. And Josephus, the Jewish commentator, said Nimrod wanted to build a tower so high that if God destroyed the world again with a flood, he could survive on top.

And he made everybody in town bake bricks and bring them or he would kill them. And since the population of the world was centered there in Mesopotamia, and he wanted to control it, in a sense, Nimrod was the first globalist.

Lo and behold, nations was God's invention to postpone a one-world government. But every generation has some king, pharaoh, caesar, kaiser, sultan, czar that wants to conquer other nations.
