The government in February set a new, one-month record, a deficit of $223 billion.
After six years of war under a liberal Republican administration the deficit for 2007 was $161 billion, For the entire year!
Wonder why we’re headed for $5 a gallon gas in the next six months (it’s not because of Libya) or why health insurance has gone up 200 percent in the last six months? Have you noticed your grocery bill? This is what happens when a country prints more money than it can back.
The “Bamster” thinks a society that stones women to death for being seen in public with a man, or condones televised beheadings is morally equivalent to a country that has striven for 200 years to form a society where all men are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights (and fought a bloody civil war to make it stick).
The “Bamster” feels its his duty to manage our decline into socialism. He apologized to the Mideast and then threw a lavish banquet for the Prime Minister of China, the bloodiest regime in the 20th century. He feels we have no right to be a world power and that everything America has was stolen from the poor. In his world-view there are no such words as American exceptionalism; created not because we were better people but by being the freest society the world has ever known.
Rome faced something similar after 250 years as a republic, only it wasn’t called socialism in those days, it was free bread and free games in the arena paid for by the government. We get free health care.
For those of you who voted for the Magic Marxist you are getting what you deserve, unfortunately the rest of us are getting it too.
