I am so amazed I just don't know where to start. What has me so amazed? Here, look at this and then we will discuss it.
http://usdebtclock.org/ Did you look at it? Believe me I have looked at it many times. I have stared at it for days. I am really scared for my children's future. This is not a Republican or a Democrat thing. This problem was caused by all the idiots in Washington, ALL OF THEM!
Start with the current national debt. I am typing this at 9:39pm on Monday 10/26/2009 the debt at this minute is 11,946,735,200,000. I rounded the last number as the hundreds of thousands of dollars were changing to fast to type. Did you catch what I just said? The HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of DOLLARS were changing TO FAST! Watch the number. It will scare the living daylights out of you.It goes up $100,000 every 3 seconds. That is over 2 times the average American salary every 3 seconds is being spent in Washington.
When Obama took office less than a year ago the national debt was $10.8 trillion. I can hear you screaming now "The deficit was run up by Bush"! I agree. Bush was responsible for a terrible spending policy. His worst published deficit was $546 billion dollars. However, if you take the total deficit increased under Bush and divide it by 8 it actually comes to an average of $600 billion a year. That covers the war that was funded off budget. That is terrible do we all agree? I know candidate Obama agrees with me. How do I know that? Listen as he criticizes Bush for his $500 Billion deficit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt6wlysV7Fk Did you hear that? The man that now has a $1,400 billion dollar deficit criticized Bush for his deficit? Where are the spending cuts you spoke of Obama?
Now look at the section Largest Budget Items. Look at what is owed on the current programs run by the government. It is so amazing, it is also scary. Please note that these items do not cover health care. Do you even realize how big that will be when added to the list? It will dwarf the other budget items. After all health care costs were one of the reasons noted in the failure of GM and Chrysler. So now we are going to strap America with a health care debt that will do to America what it did to the auto industry, BANKRUPTCY!
Now go to the bottom of the debt clock page and look at the section titled Unfunded Liability. That is the section that covers all the promises Washington has made to the American public,it covers Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security. The total at 10:09 on Monday is $105,854,163,000,000. The reason I am putting the time and date on this article is so when you go to the website you will see how much these numbers have increase since I looked at them. It will scare you, if it doesn't you are a Liberal.
This is what I think. The spending has to stop now! We are broke and spending money at a record pace. Obama is even spending more money than that evil Bush did. I know Obama has blamed everything on evil Bush. He even has the nerve to blame Bush for the $1,400 Billion deficit. But, just remember this, Obama and the DEMOCRATS passed the $787 billion stimulus. That bill alone topped any Bush deficit spending for a YEAR in ONE BILL. Yes Obama this is YOUR deficit. You can blame everyone else, like you always do, after all, nothing is your fault. But, the truth is the truth, the mop in your hand has Obama printed on it. You are definitely using that mop the wrong way. Let me make this clear, STOP SPENDING! Sleep on sheeple all is well.
