We've turned on our televisions to see massive protests in states like Wisconsin as people fight for costly social programs... even though our national debt figure is about $46,723 a person. Yes, that is you and that is me and that is each of your kids. Hell, your dog may owe some.
Do you refuse to see the real gravity of the situation???
Let me try and draw a picture here...
People are rioting in Greece right now to keep even more outrageous programs than we have here!!!!!!!!
Yet their country's national debt is less than ours . . . sitting at about $44,000 a person.
What is stopping the USA, with real unemployment hovering around 22% and cuts to government entitlements on the horizon?????
So our fiscal situation right now is actually worse than Greece's. A country that is threatening to tear apart the entire European financial system.
But the United States' debt is not our only problem!!!!!
Over the last year alone, our dollar has lost 21% of its value!!!!!!!
Do you actually understand what that means???
That means, due to no fault of your own, you've lost over one-fifth of your savings, with food and all costs of living rising right along with it, thanks to the mismanagement of our economy, under Obama's watch. Folks, this is Obama's economy all the way.
In the years ahead we face an uncertain future of higher taxes, runaway inflation, and the continued destruction of our dollar.
What have you done lately to prepare yourself, because there will be no warning went it all falls down.
BentBow !!! ... Interesting Indeed !
Yes ... it truly appears that the "Wheels Are Falling Off" and the "Walls Are Falling In" !!! America is on the ropes and taking one hail of a beating and the blame must be laid at the feet of so many of the arrogant and self serving "Career Politicians" in D.C.!
Yep the last 25 years of the "Ole Political Circus" has without doubt been numbingly hoffiffic ... and the so called will of the American People may well have regressed to the point of only a laughing matter to these unprecented elected scoundrels !
Betrayal ... should now become a most familiar word to the good folks in the States regarding the actions of a large segment of those elected officials in ole D.C.!
How on earth could anyone with an ounce of decency and any love for America do what this bunch of nitwits have done to this beloved nation ! ... and what the hail have we done ? We elected this bunch of psychos to office !!!!!
Good luck to all of us during this unbelievably troubled time in the States !
Thanks a whole hail of a lot to the simply wonderful politicians and all the really fun games they have been playing with America's citizens !
" Bout A Dumb Bunch Ah Foo's AH Runnin Dat Ole U.S. Gobbermint" ... Quite !

In exchange for three trillion in cuts to entitlements, all Beohner would have to agree to is a single trillion in revenue increases. The Speaker will not do it. He's afraid to get rid of the tax breaks (which cost the 80% of the poor) for people making millions of dollars. He's a corporate shill.

Supply-side economics hasn't worked in forty years. It creates unstable bubbles where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. We've been ****ed by that mind-set, and the American Public is oohed and aahed by false dreams of prosperity. Social mobility doesn't exist.
For me it has hit to close to home, because up until yesterday i knew 14 family's under Obama and this administration who have lost their jobs, and some a home too. This has hit oh so close to home.
Yesterday i found out a gentlemen who was a mechanic for such a long long time, was fired from his job, and why, do not even think he has the answers. This is just too many people, and the reality and their depression, hits very close to home and alo reality.
I know what your saying about our dollar depreciating. and everything else. I was told last year by my investor, what would be taking place, infact he told me some other tibidts of information, and i moved some things around, thank goodness. I really feel that some people do not understand the scope of our problems. Obama has just added to them, and he is not making a damn thing better.
Belive me a lot of business people do not like Obama, and want him gone, i understand where we can go from here, downhill, but so many are not taking this serious enough. People better wake up and think before signing on that dotted line this time, because Obama's agenda is sure not helping us the American People.
Better be scared, this Man who was a mechanic and just lost his job, is also in his fifties, and he is now scared as hek. He was a mechanic for over 25 years, and now gone, think your safe, ask yourself this question, are you middleaged, what happens should you suddenly lose your job!
Well, if things don't improve or get worse, I feel we could have civil war breaking out and anarchy consuming the country which would be disastrous.
That is why we have to put the stupid Republican/Democrat bias aside in the next election and WE THE PEOPLE vote for who is most capable of getting us our country back.!!!!!!!!!!!!
FORGET ABOUT WHETHER THE MEDIA SAYS THEY ARE ELECTABLE. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE OF VOTING FOR LAMESTREAM DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS WHO ONLY DRAG THE COUNTRY DOWN THE DRAIN FURTHER!
Let's also set aside the silly issues that are fine to focus on when we aren't also looking at losing the last vestiges of our freedom like abortion and gay rights.
We need a president who won't hop in bed with the bankster and corporate elites like the last several presidents have done who were mainstream democrats and republicans BOTH.
The only person I can think of who won't do that would be Ron Paul or a third party candidate like Ralph Nader or former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. Ron Paul is respected by other nations. He would be the best one to undo all of the mess from wars Obama and Bush created and to right the economy and go after the Federal Reserve.
What we have in washington along with the Federal Reserve System is CROOKS, THEIVES and LIARS.
They created this mess, bailed themselves out and now look for new ways to screw the American people further and with the LIES they tell we actually get people to think its a GOOD IDEA!!
Government has failed, Socialism has failed, more corruption and political gains win over your liberty. The illusion that government will take care of you is nothing more then empty promises and lies. They are broke, their UN thinking, globalist, corporatist, ignoring the limited powers of government have finally come home to roost. When you give the power of government to give you everything they will have enough power to take everything. We the people must stand for something and since we have refused to stand for LIBERTY we have fallen for anything these lairs and crooks tell us.

Today I saw part of a hearing where someone asked Bernanke if gold is money. He said "no". Then, when the questioner said well the banks have gold, don't they consider it money? Bernanke floundered for an answer. That was a little scary.
The someone was Dr. Ron Paul who is running for President. He should be the next president of the U.S.
