THE $5,000 NOTHING TRAP.

I know the satisfaction of earning something. Putting in the time, doing the work, and stepping back with the pride of a job well done.

So a promise of $5,000 for nothing makes me ask: What’s the catch? Why not $50,000 or $500,000?

My concern is that this promise encourages us to keep the same political structure in place. What are we willing to overlook in anticipation of a check?

And this “something for nothing”, if it happens, would be very expensive. Every 200 million checks would cost $1 trillion. If borrowed at 5%, that’s $137 million every day in interest alone.

Shall we trade the responsibility or protect our children and grandchildren? Our obligation is to consider our future not fall for some hollow promise.

If we borrow for today’s reward and leave tomorrow’s bill to our children, we haven’t received something for nothing. We reap less than nothing.

Every election season brings a new flavor of bu****it.

This year, prejudice is being repackaged as courage, suspicion as patriotism, and contempt as leadership. The target may change, but the formula remains the same: find a group of people, make us afraid of one another, and use that fear to gain power.

We should call it what it is. Bu****it.

It dries out quickly, so it must constantly be refreshed with a new outrage, a new label, or a new enemy. We do not have to swallow it.

Faith, ancestry, race, and birthplace do not determine character. Conduct does. Let’s judge every person by the same standard and refuse every attempt to divide us.

Our local schools and families are the heart of this effort. When we show up at school board meetings and advocate for resources, we create a lasting impact.
