DEBT: Turning into Third World

How could our every state representative and every state senator through the last 12 years let this wonderful country get into such a mess. When Zippergate Clinton was president there was no national debt. Why?

In 12 years our leaders have sold out to China for $17 trillion. Now China shows the world their new train that goes 180 mph. Between the worst of evils our country is going to be a third world country.

If someone wants to have a life with all medical bills paid, travel expenses, and a very nice retirement forever, become a lawyer then run for Congress. Larry Craig gets close to a million per year; all the rest of our leaders about the same.

The people who were elected to represent us are all greedy. The old farts that have been there for years need to be replaced. There needs to be a term limit, just like the president!

And taxes! It wouldn’t hurt anyone making $250,000 to kick in some of the dough to keep us from being a third world nation. Besides our leaders skinning us, all of our professional athletes get millions to play, and some cheat!

Our country has been buying, or trying to, half the countries in this world. That hasn’t worked; most are using us.

Air Force One: a taxi for Obama! Just ask about a million per trip. For good reasons, OK, but stomping all during the campaign? Bad news.

Well a new year is here. At about midnight they came to a half-arsed agreement, which means nothing. The stock market may be up with the belief that things are OK, but not so. God help us. Please pray!
