I’m sure none of you has ever done anything as irresponsible or absent minded as ignoring the gas gauge in the car and then when it is of critical importance, frantically searching for the next station to fill your tank and avoid being stranded. Right?
But whether you have or not, it is disconcerting at the least, to see that our government and it’s lawmakers and executives on Capitol Hill and the White House are just like that capricious driver I just described.
If you rack up more bills, it simply makes sense to have a plan on how to pay for them. There can be no question that there are almost no ‘adults’ in Washington D.C., and if there are, the kids are running the household and ignoring them. Case in point, our social spending programs. Here is a graph prepared by the Pennsylvania Secretary of Public Welfare, Gary Alexander:
The legend on this graph is a little blurry, so just to make sure you understand the graph lines and the associated colors – the Red line is Food Stamps enrollment, the Yellow, is Medicaid enrollment, the Green line is Government employment and the Blue one is Private Sector employment.
Liberals have fallen in love with the term, ‘sustainable’ and ‘sustainability’. They like it when it has to do with the planet and natural resources. But the word has the potential to cut both ways. Consider these statistics:
– In the 1960s, there were 18 workers per Medicaid recipient. Today that number is 2.5.
– The number of Americans on disability has risen 19% faster than jobs created during this recovery.
– There are just 1.2 private sector workers per 1 person on welfare or working for government.
– There are now just 1.65 employed persons in private sector per 1 person on welfare assistance.
These numbers beg the question – where is the money going to come from, to sustain these programs? Print more money and devaluate the currency?
Not a bad idea unless you are one of these ‘narrow minded’ people who think adding to a 16 Trillion dollar debt, creating inflation, drying up the credit market for businesses trying to create wealth and grow employment – or taxing middle income Americans even more than they are now, is a good thing.
I’d say for progressives – ‘sustainability’ in this context, should leave them with a case of bad breath.

I thank God each day that I was born an American.
No where else on Earth can Patriots gather to boost each others spirits or respectfully debate important issues such as Crushing Agenda 21, religious freedom,tort reform, term limits, taxes, the 2nd amendment, restoring the Constitution and healthcare for all Americans.
I’m so grateful to Blasted Fools for providing us with this forum.
To them I say God bless you and your families and thank you for all you do.
“One mans voice can’t shout for all to hear, two men’s voices can’t shout for all to hear… But when two times two times fifty becomes a million the message becomes clear, the message becomes clear.”
We need to change peoples hearts. WE need to involve ourselves and become part of the story.
November is coming.
Patriots across the land will hang lanterns in today’s version of “The Old North Church” and their brilliance will rival that of the sun.
The coming elections both local and national will be our chance to rid our government not only of Obama but also of as many Progressive politicians as we can, no matter which party they represent.
WE have ignored these Progressives and their mindless minions while they multiply and become well practiced in their evil ways. They think that WE aren’t paying attention, don’t care or are intimidated by them.
Register everyone you know. If they cannot make it to the polls have them cast absentee ballots and VOTE.
My wife and I have voted absentee for several years.
VOTE like your Liberties depended on it because they do.
“Let’s welcome God back to The White House”
God bless you and your families and may God continue to bless The United States of America the best hope for FREEDOM in this world.
“YOUR BROTHER IN LIBERTY”

The Obama campaign is engineering an app for people who subscribe to cable or satellite – it skips past the Romney ads.

I’d through out the old standard that seems to be so popular these days, “call your congress critters” but that’s just a waste of time isn’t it. None of them care what you think and none of them care where the country is headed.

These facts and figures are just too complicated for college graduates raised on reality tv to comprehend. Can we change the channel yet?
