Yah Right!

This health care reform debate is really getting on my nerves. It is said that "People who fail to learn from the mistakes of the past are bound to repeat them." This is certainly true when it comes to those in Washington as we see the liberals are bound and determined to gobble up more of our freedoms by expanding the government services into the field of health care. It's not bad enough that they have Social Security going broke and Medicare is running out of money, now they want to take over the best health care the world has ever known and mess it up as well by allocating another 1 trillion dollars of borrowed money to fund it!

One "Government Program" (that we hear almost nothing about) is the Department of Energy which the Carter Administration said was "necessary to lessen our dependence on foreign oil!" This agency was established 33 years ago, in 1977, when the U.S. consumption of foreign oil was at 30%. Now, it is 2010, 33 years later and the budget for this "Necessary" department of our ever expanding government is costing us $24.2 billion a year, they have 16,000 federal employees and also hire approximately 100,000 contract employees and what have they accomplished? Today our consumption of foreign oil has more than doubled to 70% of our oil consumption which is now coming from foreign imports.

In this health care reform program, they want to take $500,000,000.00 of money that most of us have contributed over our lifetime to Medicare (it is taken right out of our gross pay each week) and give it to people that have yet to contribute the first dime to the fund, and that's not the end of it. Big brother has already taken over the auto industry, the banking system and now the liberals want to do the same thing with health care. My suggestion is that America wakes up or the America that we all have known and enjoyed is gone forever!

Helloooooo, Anybody home?

Where are you?

Here are some very important facts that every tax paying American needs to be aware of. The United States is now $14.3 trillion in debt and the last $1.9 trillion increase in the national debt is just the last spending that the Democratic administration has added (the third increase in the first year of Obama's term as President of the United States.) Less that 10 years ago, $1.9 trillion financed the entire federal government for an entire year.

It took 200 years to build the federal debt to a total of $1.9 trillion. In 1981, then President Ronald Reagan described $1 trillion as "a stack of thousand dollar bills 67 miles high." In seconds, 1.9 trillion adds up to about 60,000 years. In hours, 1.9 trillion would take us back almost 220 million years ago when dinosaurs were just beginning to dominate the Earth. This last $1.9 trillion adds to the debt of every man, woman and child in the U.S. $6,000.00. This simply adds up to you, your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren a debt of $45,157.89 dollars each which must be repaid!

Added to the above, the Congressional Budget Office shows that the U.S. could run out of money by running up an additional $1.4 trillion before the end of the current fiscal year. Just the interest on this debt is going to be $6 trillion over the next decade.

I would hate to think that this generation of Americans has become so self-centered and selfish that they live only for today with little or no concern about how their narcissistic behavior will affect future generations of Americans.

It is mandatory that we remove those from government that have such disregard for the welfare of generations of Americans that are yet to come!
