I think I'll have to start a new blog for political posts!!

I just heard the President of the United States state that "only the Federal Government has the resources" to get us out of this economic problem that we are facing as a nation. The last time I looked the Federal Government has NO RESOURCES. All the resources are all, at least for now, in the hands of the people of the country and, unfortunately, the COUNTRIES that own our debt. Yes that's right we have a National Debt. Remember the National Debt? The thing that for so many years everyone was concerned about? That the Dems were concerned about when there was a Republican President? The burden we will place on our children's, children's, children by mortgaging our future and spending money WE DO NOT HAVE Do you remember that big thing?? I do.

If you have not thought about the National Debt in sometime here it is:


$10, 728,811,857.59

over $10 Trillion Dollars!!!!!

and it is GROWING at the rate of $3.44BILLION per day.

If you have a debt that large and you are borrowing more to pay everyday bills - guess what? YOU HAVE NO MONEY!! YOU HAVE NO RESOURCES!!!

How could your family survive like this?

So you might ask yourself what is another Trillion here or there right? What is the big deal? After all we just spent $750,000,000.00 or so in the waning days of the last President. Remember that was supposed to have some impact on the situation. But, it HAD NO effect on the economy.

I hear that the current size of the stimulus bill is enough to pay off about 95% of ALL mortgages in the country. If they are going to spend the money wouldn't that be a better way to free up the money of ordinary Americans and get the consumer driven economy back on track. Better yet why not build thousands of concrete highrises and move all of us into them at government expense and eliminate the need for private housing altogether. Here are some places we might get to enjoy.
