I had to title my post this way even though it really boils down to the Peoples fault for our
debt and deficit. The People have, since WWII, become complacent and self-centered.
As long as the People have a roof over their head, clothes on their back and food in their
stomach they are happy. The People happily vote a person into office then say to
themselves "There!! the loads off my back and onto his" and then the People go back to
their own personal WonderLand.
Our Constitution starts out "We the People" not "We the polititians And presidents"
The People must get involved with whats going on in the politics of our country. I don't
mean afew thousand or afew hundred thousand. I mean Millions of People.
The government is now 14.5 trillion dollars in debt (money the polititians And presidents
have spent that the government didn't have available to spend)
The government now has a deficit of 1.4 trillion dollars (this is money that the government
doesn't have to cover the spending and interest payments). The deficit is 1/10 of the
governments debt (10%).
I think I saw a newspaper that said the deficit will be lowered over a 10 year period (I
could be wrong), but the main thing is the 10 year part. ARE YOU FUCKING
KIDDING ME. Give these polititicians And presidents another 10 years to do what they
haven't been able to do in the past 50 years (I'm 64 and I remember).
With the debt and deficit crisis(?) looming more and more, and if the economy should fall,
the life we would be living would make the Depression seem like a garden party. Then
where would your Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness be.
The People have allowed the politicians And presidents to spend money Helter Skelter.
They have put the People of the United States in a position that is or will be very
detremental to our safety and well being. Which brings to mind, The Declaration of
Independence. Here is a part from it.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes
destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and
to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is
their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new
guards for their future security.
Nuff Said
Peace
