Liam Fox Issues a Warning to America

Britain’s Liam Fox has a warning for America: Fix the debt problem now or suffer the consequences of less power on the world stage. The former U.K. secretary of state for defense visited Heritage to explain why the America’s debt is a national security issue.

Fox explained that both Britain and America should be concerned about the impact our national debt has on our security. “The real issue is the indebtedness of Western nations,” he stressed, “Here in the United States, there is a certain irony in the fact that in order

For Economy to Grow, Washington Must Get Out of the Way

All things good and bad come to an end, and that is true of the long recession, which, according to the economic statisticians, we are in no longer.  When the jobs numbers for last month came in President Obama was quick to proclaim that the recovery is on track, and let us hope he is correct.  But the story can’t end there if the country is truly to be restored to economic health.

There are lessons to be learned about government policy actions, which have been adversely affecting the private sector where jobs are created.

When Is the Statute of Limitations on Blaming Bush?

President Obama may not like it but the American people finally need to declare a statute of limitations for blaming Bush. Obama is traveling around making appearances uttering some semblance of the words “we didn’t know how bad it was” in defense of his proposed budget and the dire economic outlook for our country.

It is a complete lie.

Obama made comment after comment pointing out the severity of the American economic condition long before he was President and repeatedly since then.

Debt Approaches $15 Trillion

Barack Obama and the Democrats are living in denial. They deny that there is no such thing as magic seeds that when planted, grow money tree’s. It’s a fairy tale you guys, c’mon, snap out of it. They won’t, they believe in another fairy tale called climate change, so asking them to come down from the clouds and join reality is futile. After all, Barack and his side are running around the country trying to drum up support for another 447 billion dollar spending spree/stimulus, repackaged as a jobs bill, and really has nothing to do with jobs at all.

Barack and his cohorts have increased the national debt by 29.1% since assuming the presidency. He did that in less than 3 years. 2 years 8 months and 16 days. He and his party have put us 4,352,909,130,054.08 in debt since his first full day (January 21, 2009) in office, and still shows no sign of letting up at all. This country can not sustain another four years of Barack Obama and a Democrat majority. That’s a fact, not an attack.

National Debt Jan 21, 2009: 10,625,053,544,309.79

National Debt Nov 04, 2011: 14,977,962,674,363.87

Total Increase: 4,352,909,130,054.08 (29.1%)

I told you last summer when that phony, illegal and unconstitutional Debt Committee was agreed to in the Debt Ceiling Agreement that Obama was going to keep spending right up to the limit, the committee would be a stalemate, and according to the agreement, he then would get to authorize more spending. That’s exactly what he’s doing. Just like I told you he would last summer. He is intent on breaking this country and molding it in to another Euphorion Socialist society. That is his ideology.

It will be the latest sobering economic milestone that few were hoping to see: The U.S. national debt – any day now – will soar above the $15 trillion mark.

As of this writing, the total debt is $14.97 trillion, so moving beyond the symbolic $15 trillion is a foregone conclusion. When the unwelcome milestone is reached, it will come at a volatile time both in this country and abroad….

At what point do you on the left finally come to realize that the country comes first? When are you going to understand that life as you know it, will no longer exist if this keeps up? If you want socialism and/or a form of communism and to live in a Wiemar Republic, by all means, vote for Obama and every Democrat you can. This isn’t a Republican-Democrat thing anymore. It’s freedom or socialism. That’s your choice next year.

An interesting perspective on the National Debt

I was listening to Bob Davis on KTLK the other day and I heard him say what was just published in Reuters yesterday. I found it to be an interesting little gem that should (hopefully) make everyone pause, and think.

If you took our entire debt in one dollar bills, it would reach the moon and back… twice. How’s that for baffling? But I can do one even better. Since the Democrats came to power in January of 2007 and through Obama’s first three years (present day), their policies and spending have made those one dollar bills reach the moon and back, once. They did that in 5 and a half years.

The other moon and back with the one dollar bills took 230 years to achieve. So, I have to ask. Can we afford another 4 years of Obama? Obviously not. Can we afford the Democrat Party in general? It’s fairly obvious again that we can’t.

You know what the really sick part of this is? The left, mainly the progressives, the big labor unions, and a lot of Democrats (not all), but mostly the one’s in congress and the White House still want to spend more money. I know, it defies sanity.

We have one chance to put an end to this madness, and if we fail to do so, this country will have been raped, pillaged and plundered to oblivion. By the time 2016 rolls around, there won’t be anything left.

Let me tell you something. This isn’t partisan. This is fact, and this fact affects everybody. Right, Left, union member, non-union member, rich, poor, middle class, Democrat, Republican, Independent, nobody is discriminated against. It’s time to stand up for America and put the petty partisanship on the back-burner for a while.
