Congress Selfishly Endangered Every American's Safety – The Ultimate Betrayal of the Republic

By Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show

The United States Congress has not only failed the American people — they have committed a deliberate and treasonous betrayal. While everyday Americans struggle under crushing inflation, unfair taxes, and declining living standards, members of Congress have shamelessly enriched themselves with bloated pensions, platinum-level medical benefits, and insider trading profits — all while actively endangering the safety and future of this nation.

This is the height of hypocrisy and greed.

Congress continues to impose oppressive tax burdens on working Americans while they enjoy lavish retirement packages and gold-plated healthcare that most citizens can only dream of. Many members retire with six-figure pensions for life, generous medical coverage, and other perks funded by the very taxpayers they exploit (Congressional Oversight Project, 2025). Meanwhile, senior citizens choose between medication and food, and young families are crushed under rising taxes and collapsing real wages.

Even more damning, Congress has willfully refused to address the fentanyl crisis that is slaughtering over 100,000 Americans every year. They know the poison is flooding our communities. They know it's destroying families. Yet they do nothing meaningful to stop it (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2025).

Now Congress is enabling an even greater long-term threat: the unchecked explosion of massive AI data centers across America. These monstrous facilities are stealing our water, draining our electrical grids, invading our privacy, and seizing private property through eminent domain abuse — all while Congress does nothing to protect the American people (Smith & Thompson, 2026). These data centers are not just power hogs — they are the backbone of the emerging digital surveillance state and technocratic control grid.

Ezekiel 22:27 describes these so-called leaders perfectly: "Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain." Congress has become exactly that — a pack of wolves devouring the American people for personal comfort and globalist power.

1 Timothy 6:10 warns us, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." The love of money, power, and privilege has corrupted Congress to its core. While they protect their own luxurious benefits and allow technocrats to build their AI empire, they burden ordinary Americans with unfair taxes and destructive policies.

Isaiah 5:20 stands as a direct condemnation: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil." Congress calls their bloated benefits "public service," labels AI data center sprawl as "progress," and calls any resistance to this agenda "extremism."

Proverbs 29:2 is being fulfilled before our eyes: "When the wicked rule, the people groan." America is groaning under selfish, corrupt leadership that has endangered every America's safety through economic warfare, indifference to mass fentanyl deaths, and the enabling of a predatory AI data center industry that threatens our resources, privacy, and property rights.

This betrayal is not just political — it is spiritual. The technocrats and global elites they serve are building the infrastructure for a beast system that treats ordinary Americans as expendable. Congress has become their willing accomplice.

The American people must wake up. The time for polite conversation is over. We must demand real accountability from these self-serving politicians before they completely destroy what remains of this Republic.

The betrayal by Congress is no longer coming. It is here — and it is deadly.
