I have never blogged before. But I am so shocked at what the US government is doing that I have to speak out. It appears to me that the government thinks the American people are ignorant sheep that must be forced to do what is good for them. And they figure while they're at it they may as well feather their own nests. They have dramatically increased the size of government they have definitely ran up our deficit. And they keep telling us everything is a crisis as they ram through 1000 page plus bills spending hundreds of billions of dollars. And they are not even reading the bills before they pass them.
The president says there are no ear marks or pork in these bills. Then We find out we have spent $1.5 million to put in a bike path. $200,000 for tattoo removal in California. $1.791 million on bovine odor research. That sure sounds like pork to me.
A $700 billion bank bailout $787 billion stimulus package $410 billion omnibus spending bill $3.6 trillion budget the total in the last 14 months is estimated at a staggering $7 trillion they have spent or committed to spend to save our economy. It sounds to me like they're spraying gasoline on a burning house. I absolutely cannot understand this line of thinking.
We cannot keep printing money like it was just made out of paper. If they keep going like they are you will have to push a wheelbarrow full of dollars to the store to get a loaf of bread and there won't be any bread there.
Now they're trying to ram through a health-care bill that the president says will be budget neutral. Answer me this question does anybody anywhere know of anything that the US government has done which he's come in on its original projected budget. The answer of course is no it's always doubled triple or quadruple what they estimate. Conservative estimates are that it will add a cost of one trillion dollars a year for the next 10 years for this health care plan. My question is how long do you think China and other countries will continue to fund our reckless spending. The Chinese have already been warning us and giving us advice. A communist country giving us financial advice. Even the Chinese can see the folly of the direction we are heading. If that doesn't scare the living crap out of you. Then you really should rethink your thought process. That's enough for my first post
