GOING BROKE

The United States is going broke. Once the envy of the world, our policies are now being mocked and laughed at. We used to be looked upon as a country of laws and free markets. The lessons of the past are being abandoned for a socialistic approach. Government tells us that everyone is equal and wealth must be divided. It makes no difference if you work hard or idle your time away. We must share the wealth. Is this the path the people of the United States voted for?

The free market system is being replaced by the nationalization of our monetary, auto and health care systems. Instead of allowing the market to adjust and self correct, government has become intrusive in dictating solutions. The solution is spend. By spending and avoiding reality the government has placed us in deep debt. The President tells us that we should not spend what we can’t afford. We must act responsibly. This does not correspond with government actions. Some states rejected TARP Funds and government forces it upon them. Banks wanted to pay back bailout funds and government said no. Now government is taking back the TARP Funds to recycle into more bailout money. Is this acting responsibly? Is this how you pay down debt?

As we go deeper into debt government continues to spend. They tell us health care is broken and must be fixed. Yes, there are problems with health care, but do we need government taking over a system that provides the best health care in the world. Government just can’t keep their hands off. It’s as if they want to destroy everything that made this country great. Our Congressmen and Senators sit blindly by as the President and his men lead us into catastrophic debt and socialistic policies. The media flaunts the President as if he is infallible. Most Americans have no idea what is happening and are mesmerized by the President’s words.

They say time heals. Wake up America and demand that government act responsibly. Government needs to stop spending and perform its constitutional duties. Our founders set guidelines to dictate the role of government. They did not design or establish our government to be a dictatorship.
