53 TRILLION Federal Deficit is on its way…
Posted by Duncan on January 14th, 2009
This is from the I.O.U.S.A. film that I watched on the CNN one night. Very good at describing the mess our politicians have gotten us into. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m excited that my entire family of 4 owes/owns 700,000 bucks in our federal debt. Too bad I am the only one with a job. Unbelievable. And it is another reason I believe that this republic doesn’t have much of a life in it as it stands now. The American people will continue to put those politicians in power that promise more and more handouts from the public treasury. I believe that this is a 100 car freight train that is moving at full speed, and we’ve got a Toyota Prius that is going to try to stop it. The system will have to collapse, unfortunately, before things will change.. I just don’t see anyone doing anything to substantially change this course. People like Representative Ron Paul are laughed at, while Barack “Only Government Can Save Us” Obama are elected president with fanfare, pomp and circumstance.
Here is a link to the 30-minute version. Don’t worry if you think they give Bill Clinton credit for the “Balanced Budget” and leave the Republican controlled Congress out of it as they slay the sacred cows of Democrats, namely Social Security and Medicare. I think it is fair to say that both of our parties, once again, have failed us, the American people.

It’s disgusting isn’t it??? To know these numbers and continue to vote these idiOts into office…we’re probably all guilty of it too. For so many years it’s been vote for less evil…not anymore. Ron Paul is correct on many many things.
I’ve become a fan of Reason Magazine- and at their web site they have tons of videos that detail a lot of this, and the outcome that will cost us ZILLIONS over our lifetimes. When do we say enough is enough???

Could be why there is such a push by the left to grab the guns. They must know at some point we citizens will say enough and rise up. It’s in our history! I’m using my tax refund this year to buy guns. I like the irony.
