Spending OUR Money

Our leaders are way too confident and frivolous spending our money. Maybe they think there's no end to it. Maybe they think it's just numbers in a computer. Maybe they just really don't care and are really trying to destroy the United States economically.

No one wants to consider the third option, but what can you say to such a thing. It is either this or these people are just plain stupid and don't understand that when you spend money you don't have, that sooner or later you have to pay it back or declare bankruptcy which will ruin your credit. If our credit is ruined then they have destroyed our economy.

Certainly they must know that they are borrowing and spending money at a much faster rate than we can ever pay back, so the only other conclusion you can draw is that they are doing it on purpose. If this is the case then it means that we have people in congress who are actively working against the United States. This is something that is called sedition.

If we dont' get rid of these people or somehow get them to turn around we will shortly find ourselves bankrupt as a nation and our money will be worthless on the world market. We will cease to be a world power if that happens and may well find that we become little more than a third world nation.

Are we the people of the United States of America really going to let that happen. We must do something soon if we are to turn things around.

There are so few people in congress or as leaders that we can trust.

Something every American should consider when looking for who they will vote for as the next president is: Has the person done what they said they would do? Do they have a genuine concern for our economy as exhibited by their voting and actions. Do they display contempt for our nation or honor and patriotism? Does the leader surround himself with Marxists, communists, and socialists. Has the leader been actively working to destroy the oil industry on which we depend? Are they against other forms of power such as coal? Have they talked about taking action that would cause fuel to "necessarily skyrocket"?

Does the person lead both by word and by example? Or do they lead from behind? Is the person the sort of person who votes present? Or do they vote for those things that are for the good of the nation? Is the person a real worker? Do they spend every weekend and every other opportunity playing golf, basketball, going to africa on safari, and taking trips all over the world seeming with no purpose? Does the person ignore the plight of Americans hit by disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and fires?

Does the person refuse to answer to congress? Does the person do anything substantial to defend our borders and support those who are trying to do the same? Does the person actively fight against states that don't support his agenda on such things as illegal immigration?

Does the person seek constantly to divide the American people, with such things as black against whites, hispanics against whites, illegals against citizens, rich against poor, etc.?

Does the person stonewall every attempt for real information, all the whilte declaring how they are the most open and transparent administration we have seen? Is the person continually evasive? Does the person call for cooperation and immediately follow it up by criticizing the side he wants cooperation from?

Is this really the kind of leader we want? Do we want a leader who has already doubled our national debt in just 2 years and promise more of the same if re-elected? Do we want a leader who is willing to be on both sides of the fence?

Do we want a leader who views himself as a ruler more than a leader. A leader uses the executive orders to put through all kinds of things the legislature would never approve?

Do we want a leader who feels it is fine for the government to take over a private business? Do we want a leader who thinks that eminent domain trumps every case of private property?

Do we want leaders who feel the government just doesn't regulate enough and busy themselves writing hundreds of thousands of pages of legislation telling you what you can eat, what you can smoke, what you can do with your own property, where a business can move, what state a business must do business in or that gives non-citizens more rights then actual citizens?

Does this sound like the kind of leaders we have now? If it does and these are really the kinds of leaders that you want then keep voting them in. If this is not what you as an American want; if this is not what you think was meant to be by our founding fathers then you better get busy getting these people out of office.

In california you can't even chose what kind of tree you want to plan in your own yard without consulting some goernment beauricrat first. I suppose this is really a matter of self importance and trying to prove that we need someone to tell us the best thing that we need to do. At its core it is an attitude that we are too stupid to know what is best for us. Every American ought to be insulted and outrage by this elitest attitude. No American is better than another and though we have put these people up on pedestals we should not. Even though they would have us believe they are the cream of the crop the reality is that in many cases they would never have made it inn any other area of society. It is not that they are uniquely suited for politics or running a nation or a state. It is really that they can't do anything else and would die poor if not for all the perks they can give themselves as our representatives.

We have every right to expect these people we vote into office to be responsible with the money they take from us. If they will not be responsible we also have ever right to see them removed from office. These people do not have a right to their office. They do not have a right to be re-elected. They behave as though they have a right to do that, but the reality is they do not have a right to be there. In many cases they should be removed simply because they refuse to answer the questions that are put to them by the media and because they have clearly lied to the American people over and over. Would we take this from the executive of any large company? If they lied to their investors, were caught in unethical positions, were not handling the money of the company as they were supposed to and as a result were bringing that company to financial ruin we would demand their resignation immediately not at the end of some imagined term simply because we said we were going to hire them for 2 years to turn the company around.

This illustration is probably the most apt of any we could use, but for some reason we think different rules apply to those in goverment. This should not be. We should get the people who are not answerin to the investors (taxpayers) of nation adequately and who are doing great damage to the economy and financial health of our nation.

What has happened to tax payers rights? What has happened to equal protection under the law. Why is it that the laws that congress passes don't apply to them? The rest of us have to have a health care plan that they've exempted themselves from. If that plan is so good then why are they not required to have the same one we're required to have. What is the difference between this and an aristocracy? One set of rules for them and another set of rules for the rest of us? Am I the only one that can see that this is not equal  protection under the law?
