That's The Bottom Line 02/15/25

Radio Show. I'm a partner at Asset Growth Associates with offices located in Dallas and Beaumont, Texas, where we offer investment, pension and retirement planning services, as well as income tax returns for individuals, families, and businesses. Hey listen. We do it all at Asset Growth Associates, including representing our clients who may be having difficulty with the irs, often being able to negotiate a settlement or occasionally even paying nothing

at all, sometimes negotiating a fresh start as well. As I said, we do it all. We've been serving our clients in Texas and Louisiana for decades now. On today's report, or we take a look at President Trump's attempt to stop wasteful spending. Despite efforts by some Democrat judges to stop him, it appears Trump is still slashing spending within

his authority to do so. Also on Today's report, Trump says he's willing to send US troops to help rescue Israeli hostages, but he's going to defer to Israeli Prime Minister Netting Nahu. Meantime, US troops have sealed the border here with Mexico once again. Today's Dirty Little Secret exposes those who claim Trump doesn't have the authority to do what he's doing, but in fact he does. And what's behind the what is behind the Democrats ultimate plan for

we the people? Today's Solution segment visits Wall Street and looks at safe investments that can secure your financial future without risk, and we can help with all types of tax returns. You know, we're in tax return season right now, so whether you're investing money or you need help with your income taxes. This is the this is the one stop shop right over here, Asset Growth Associates. So give us a call four to oh nine eight four h sixty nine, one hundred. Well, we've got a lot to cover,

so let's get started. You know, President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to wasteful government spending trillions of dollars so far, with more to come. They're even making payments to people that are the Social Security payments to people with who have long passed away. Some if they were still alive, it'd be one hundred and thirty years old. Come. While Democrat politicians and Democrat judges try to stop Trump at most, all they're able to do is slow things.

Because everything Trump is laying down as within the authority of his office, and he's exercising that authority. Democrat judges will all be eventually overruled, some of them already. Donald Trump, with the help of his appointed sidekick Elon Musk, are eliminating wasteful spending across the board, and it's going to continue.

The tax dollars of the American people sent to Washington, d C. Will no longer be wasted nor nonsensical programs which serve only the wasteful spending of the special interests, or sent to countries that detest the United States. The news media, of course, plays it up as if Trump is overstepping his authority, which he is not. Nonetheless, in the United States, if the United States is ever going to have a balanced budget and not spend more than

it takes in, it requires cutting wasteful spending. That's only common sense. Trump, of course, is committed to this, and it will continue no matter how lout the Democrats scream and how and low level Democrat judges try to stop it. Trump will just continue the appeals process and ultimately the Supreme Court will decide all the spending cuts Trump has ordered that the Democrats and judges are trying to stop

from being carried out. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, if you pay federal income tax, it's your money that's being wasted. And if the unnecessary overspending continues unabated, the entire country's going to fall into backrum seat. It's no more complicated than that. I'm sure we all understand this. Plus, the Biden administration did everything in its power to destroy President

Trump with lawsuits and fake criminal charges. Trump has already canceled Biden's secret clearance and taken other steps to prove the Biden crime family from abusing public office, from taking bribes and other forms of kickbacks. The fact that Trump is doing what he's doing should be accepted as good

news for the public at large. Most Americans at least fifty three percent approve of what President Trump is doing, and since he won both the electoral College vote and the popular vote this passed November, he's situated in a good way to retain his popularity within with the American people. Bowls by some Democrats to try and impeach Trump simply fall by the wayside. Right now and for the rest

of this term of Congress. Both the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans, so if an impeachment attempt was made, the numbers are just not there to carry it out. At the moment, President Trump continues to enjoy popularity among most of the American peace people, and last week, the President said he was ready to take action against Hamas after the latest prisoner release showed Jewish prisoners emaciated. However, Trump added he would hold back any action on the

part of the United States. If the Israeli government asked him to continue doing so, We'll have to just wait and see how that turns out. Meantime, Congressional Democrats continue to hold rallies outside the US capital in DC against President Trump. What they failed to realize is that most of the American public supports the actions of President Trump and what he is undertaking in his second term now and after what Democrats had put him through and his

family through. Listen, President Trump shows no inclination to turno, to turn the other cheeks, so to speak, or as he remains stalwart in his desire to continue resurrecting the

United States from the agony of the Biden years. His mode and decisive moves are reinvigorating the spirit of the American people that this time around President Trump, and he's showing them that this time around he really needs business and he's going to continue carrying out his objectives to create a more powerful and dedicated United States on the world stage, and to do so with an agenda to

bring more prosperity to we, the American people. During his first term, he sought reconciliation with his Democrat opponents, but this time around, after the assaults carried out against him after he left office. He's born again hard as they say, and he's going to use the power of the presidency to bring about much needed change. And that's where we're going to begin our report this morning, to just make sure you're up to date on everything that's going on

right now. So he's taken a sledgehammer to a lot of spending. It's pretty pretty odd. But you know people who would normally be if they were still alive at one hundred and thirty five. I guess if they were alive at one hundred and thirty five, they would still be getting Social Security checks. But I doubt very much that there's very many people that have li are living that long. So there's an example right there of what is occurring. It's amazing. Be back with more right after this.

Before you decide, let's talk about the big picture. Claiming benefits before your full retirement age, whether it's sixty six, sixty seven, or somewhere in between, can reduce your monthly income by up to thirty percent. That could mean thousands of dollars less every year, and once you start, there's no going back.

Here's the unintended consequence. That smaller check could limit your ability to enjoy retirement, cover healthcare costs, or leave a legacy for you and your loved ones. And if you live longer than you expect, those reduced benefits might not be enough. But don't worry. We're here to help.

five sixty a m klv I in Beaumont, Texas. You know, I think at this juncture in time, most of America's enemies know our president means what he says last week when he said he would respect Israel's decision with regard to Hamas to hold back a little, you know, but he says he's willing to send the United States in and end the situation inside the Gaza Strip if need be. Reminds me of something often said about the US Marine Corps that said they say they called the Marines no

better friend, no worse enemy. Well, it seems President Trump is serious about ending the hostage situation in Gaza and those terrorist operatives must pay the price for what they do to innocent civilians. And one wonders what they must believe to think that there's not going to be a penalty to be paid for for their actions. The world at large, for the most part, is not a friendly place, you know that, and this is why we need strong

leadership in the White House. President Trump does not mince words. He means what he says, and so doing it makes America a safer place. The border with Mexico is sealed tight again with members of the US military guarding the fence line there. Meantime, Trump continues to use and threaten tariffs to restrain less effective imported goods from entering the US, and does so to help the American manufacturing industry become

more available here in the United Slates States. And what's the saying, build a better mouse trap and the world's going to be a path to your door. Well, this simply means, in a world of competition, the products that are best will always be what consumers want. Too many companies build their products overseas and they don't last. Right. Everyone wants quality and endurance and products they purchase and

rightly so. Now there's no doubt, not whatsoever, President Trump is reshaping as much as he can to help create a more prosperous United States. He will not only accomplish this, but leave a lasting legacy for America's future. Democrats can either join him in the fight or fight against him. But if they fight him, they'll keep losing. Last November's presidential outcome came out loud and clear as to where

most Americans stand. Do we see those same angry democrats, same angry democrats screaming on television, a sad, sad and angry group of people who just can't root for the home team. Unfortunately, many of us will be given the opportunity to lead, lead again and live again in a prosperous America, at least for a while, maybe longer, if we don't forget how good things are going to be.

You know, that's usually what happens. You know, you have it good for a while, you get used to it, and you get bored, and then it comes along and you throw the baby out with the mash, walk with the bathwater. As they say. You know, we're living in a time of a great experiment, Ladies and gentlemen, that's in that experiment will decide whether human kind can rule itself justly. Of course, we will face future obstacles which

remain hidden, that we'd have to overcome. But when you think of it, that's part of life that has always been that. It's always been that way from time in memorial. That for all we should we should be grateful to be living in this modern age, which offers so much more than decades past. It's true time waits for no one, and we are allotted only so much time by our creator to make the most of what we have all been given. All that being said, President Trump had two

attempts on his life while running for president. I know you recall that they don't talk about that too much. On one of them, the bullet missed his head and skinned his ear. Poor shot. Or was it the hand of providence? I don't know, But no matter whether it was pure luck or the hand of God that spared his life. Either way, it was God's will, I suppose, so, I guess from President Trump's point of view, he's on

a mission for God Almighty. As such, he has a strong belief in what he's doing and following through unbelieving his actions are the Almighty's will. Of course, many people would scoff at what I just said, But then again, what do any of us know. I guess if President Trump is carrying out God's will, then no one's going to be able to stop him, except the Good Lord himself. Right decades ago, a friend of mine used the term

ignorant arrogance when referring to delinquency. He was talking about delinquent youth, he said, he called it ignorant arrogance by using the term ignorant arrogance. He was referring to young people who had no upbringing and thought they knew it all, when in fact they knew very little. Anyhow, that's pretty much something. We know this much, however, the measure time passes quickly, and the older we get, the more we recognize how truly time flies. And this is why it

is important to plan for the future. And when it comes to money that proper planning prevents poor performance. Did you know that? Of course you do. Proper planning prevents poor performance when you're setting dollars aside for the future. But what is proper planning? For example, when setting funds aside for the future for future use, you want to make sure the funds you're setting aside are going to be there when the time comes to dip into those funds.

little secret. And President Trump, with the help of Elon Musk, is taking an axe, a sledgehammer, and a sickle to wasteful government spending. And the Democrats are screaming that they cannot do that, but in fact President Trump can. And for those cuts which are questionable, they will end up being decided by the US Supreme Court. Now most of the spending cuts being carried out obviously or legal. If

President Trump is violating the law. So was President Biden when he delayed dispersing grants under the twenty twenty one Infrastructure Bill at his infamous twenty twenty two Inflation Reduction Act, which did nothing to reduce inflation. There was no outcry back then by the Democrat or the media. But you know, they had a chance. They should have been complaining back then like they were complaining now, but they didn't. Democrat

lawmakers just can't help themselves. Ladies and gentlemen, they're now screaming Trump has created a constitutional crisis, and they've already been throwing around the impeachment threat. It's nonsense. It's nonsense, ladies and gentlemen, and the left wing anti American news

media shamelessly lies to weave the people. If you're a middle class American working for wages or a small business owner seeking a decent lifestyle for you and your family, the modern Democrat Party wants to squeeze you out of existence and throw you into a two class system of the haves and the have nots. Take my word for it. Believe me, they want you poor and needy and dependent

on welfare handouts. President Trump is not a dictator. If anything, he's a trustworthy, honest American seeking to re establish the free enterprise system and return the United States to its once ended enviable pinnacle of strength. Part of the process requires it's part of the process requires to cut back end to wasteful spending. And we know all about that, don't we Sending your hard earned dollars to foreign countries promoting lifestyles reminiscent of Sodom and Gomorrah, and in some

cases even worse, make no sense whatsoever. The tax dollars you send to Washington should be spent for things which help build, grow, and protect the United States. The taxes they take from us should be used for the right projects to continually help the United States remain prosperous, free, and safe. Now many of us can remember when Barack Obama was president and he said he had a pen and a phone and implied he could rule by decree.

The news media, which enjoys freedom of the press, we learned recently, takes bribes and enjoys payoffs to promote left wing propaganda and work against the best interest of the American people. Now that's abuse of freedom of the press, isn't it. They actually get kicked back money from crooked elements of the United States government, and that is a

big scandal in itself. But it's there. Now. You're not going to read about it in the newspapers, are you, But it's there, and we all know for the most part, HAWKRYPTUS so called mainstream media has become and instead of being the watchdog of we the people, instead has chosen to be the lap dog of the Democrat Party. Joe Biden when he was president and canceled student loans, mandated vaccines, among other things. He did not have the authority to

do that. When the Supreme Court rebuked him, he defied them and did it again. More than a century ago, Abraham Lincoln said of his opponents, you can fool some of the people some of the time, and fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Unfortunately, we now have a very determined person, and Donald Trump as our president. His goal is to resurrect the United States and greatness and to resume his leadership role in

the world. His election has now shown that the American people are once again awakened to the need for strong leadership. So to hear foolish Democrats once again calling for his impeachment and once again complaining and taking sides with plans that ultimately would destroy our country and way of life. You can't listen to that anymore. It should fall on

deaf ears. President Trump succeeds and curtailing wasteful spending. The reward to we the people will be relief from higher and higher income taxes, allowing for more investment opportunities and a higher standard of living for everyone. He hasn't been in office a full month yet. President Trump has not been in office a full month yet, and the Democrats are already yapping at him for starting out on a crusade, so to speak, to do them in because why why

do they want to do them in? Because he doesn't want to waste tax dollars that we pay Washington to operate the country. That money should not ever be wasted, but sadly it has been for too long now, and Trump wants to stop wasteful spending. And I'll tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that's that's good for all of us. And you you better. You can take that to the bank. I guess if as long as the bank's are solved with bank. You know, we have a lot of trouble

of being an American is to live in freedom. Most signs sgnificantly would be the freedom for every individual to improve their lot in life from personal initiative and using your God given talents to pursue your goals without impediments from the government. In order to accomplish success, you have

to be free, through either education or natural talents. And this is why it's so imperative to live in a free society that rewards success, and why we cannot succumb to the false promises of socialism, which limits individual success and places limits on what you can achieve. Because listen to me, you are free to succeed. So don't let anyone, including any political party, limit you, because if they can,

they will. Part of being free means you should plan for your future, simply setting a little bit of money aside for future use. Many people can do that by participating in their employer sponsored savings plans such as four one KS or similar employer sponsored plans. But the closer one gets the retirement, the more important it is to protect your nest league. At Asset Growth Associates, we have plans which both grow and protect nest eggs from market losses.

If you have funds available for transfer, now would be a good time to meet with us and let us show you how to save your retirement.
