One wonders, if Obama, will ever consider the possibility that perhaps, it is time to make some real spending cuts in the nation's budget especially in the area of entitlements.This would be the responsible course of action to take but thus far it seems, Obama, is rather allergic to being responsible and sometimes considering the nation's debt is so so much more then even Obama, has the ability to count, perhaps that's why he accepts no accountability for it! Ben Bernanke, has already said he is now prepared to print money at the rate of 85 billion dollars a month while keeping interest rates at near record lows until such time as unemployment drops to 7.7 percent or better.I can not say if measures like these will cause a drop in the nation's unemployment rate to the desired 7.7 percent or not but one can be assured measures like these will indeed cause the worth of the American dollar to drop the the very point of collapse.
As I compose these words and consider the economic future of all who may read them,I confess there are times when as a writer I wonder if the words of any one man can make any real difference as far as the the future of this nation is concerned. There are those days in fact when I am tempted to give up and willingly, surrender the future of this country into the hands of the ever ready lunatic liberals but right when I consider doing just that I look into the eyes of my beautiful daughter and my heart beats with new purpose and I remember these words from Everette Hale, he said the following;"I am only one but I am one.I can not do everything but I can do something.What I can do, I should do and with the help of God, I will do." Based on these words then, I shall continue to write so others stronger and wiser than I can find the courage to continue to fight for the future of this nation and if there are those fellow patriots who ask for a greater inspiration than my words alone I would suggest, that they need only look into the eyes of there hope filled children, and this should provide all the the inspiration any true patriot, could ever need to continue to fight. As always, my friends, these thoughts, remain, just, some words, to think on.
Hi, there are things they can do of course to fix our situation such as cutting spending, but there are special interest behind every dollar redistributed from Washington from both parties. Democrats at least actually "tax and spend" while republicans tend to put the debt on the nations credit card harming those that will inherit the future.
ReplyDeleteSo we have two choices, allow taxes to rise to actually reflect the spending our nation wants to commit to. Bush told europe he would build a missile defense shield and Obama finished the job, can't we actually charge for these products and services we provide?
Being the worlds policeman cost $250 billion per year, for which no nation wants to pay for so the bill is put on the tab. We will give non profits $148 billion this year and because of the Bayh-Dole act we can not profit from our investments, so a complete waste of wealth and effort.
Homeland Security is another $57 billion waste of wealth along with lots of other government programs, we could cut a trillion no problem but special interest rule Washington. In Washington there is no such thing as red vs blue, it's all about the gr$$n. Great Post and Happy Holidays to you and your family, Bill
You raise a good point bill no doubt there is enough blame to go around for both parties I know that those who are libertarian in the political views think that the US should get out of a lot of the countries that we are in but remember in some of these countries we are looking out for our own national security issues your an intelligent think it was a pleasure hearing from you God bless you.
