Somebody Please, Put On The Brakes!

  Like many Americans, once and a while something comes up financially speaking that wasn't in our general operating budget, when that happens, I use a credit card with the understanding that we won't do this every five minutes or  for just any reason and as a family we will make it a priority to keep our credit card balance low and pay it off as quickly as possible and that's what we do.
  I have to ask myself, if I know this makes good sense and I am certainly no financial genius because if I were,  I would never need to use a credit card in the first place, if I know how to be responsible with debt why doesn't  our government? I can't drive, I am handicapped, and can not  but let me ask you something, if your car was out of control hopelessly heading for a cliff with a drop so deep that you knew you would die if your car went over that cliff while you were in it, wouldn't you at least try to put on the brakes to slow down or turn around and change direction, and if all else failed as a last resort wouldn't you try to roll out of the car before it went headlong over the cliff?
  Well,  the nations economy,  is the car,  budget cuts along with responsible spending,  are the brakes, continually adding to the nation's nearly sixteen trillion dollar debt,  is the accelerator, and total economic collapse,  is the cliff. and it sure seems to me that  President Obama, and countries like Greece along with France;s new  Socialist President Francois Hollande, are all in a race, with the accelerator of debt pushed clear to the floor trying to see who will go over the cliff of economic collapse first.! I hope on election day this November,  a majority of the American,  people will vote for a more conservative responsible government that will be like a shout that will say in affect, WOULD SOMEBODY  PLEASE, PUT ON THE BRAKES! I hope that is the cry that goes up and is heard  in November, because if it isn't   I don't think America,  will even be able to try to roll out of our nations economic car before it goes over the cliff of economic collapse and America,  as a nation  plunges  to her death of non existence. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just some words to think on.
