During this administration, the Federal deficit has increased by 3 Trillion (with a Capital T) dollars. That is an increase of 40% over the debt America has accrued in its entire history of about 230 years. So what is our government going to do about it? Right now, they do have a choice.....
1) They can turn down the bill introduced to increase our debt by another 781 million dollars. This, of course, would cause widespread financial panic.
2) They can vote for the bill, and let the bloodletting continue, and in time, bring on another Great Depression.
Either way, we are totally screwed. How did we get to this point? The answer is right in front of our noses, in a place called Washington DC, where nobody gets it. In fact, nobody sees past the next election there, and that is the problem. Do you think that our politicians, both Republican and Democrat, are putting their own selfish interests ahead of America's interests? Yup, thats what they are doing.
Patriots in Washington? What patriots? Its all a "Patriot Act", if you will pardon the pun.
