You may not realize it, but the debt of the United States now exceeds the entire Gross Domestic Product of the entire globe! That's right, the USA now owes more than the value of all goods and services rendered on the planet. According to the World Net Daily, the total deficit, without the recently passed $800 billion "stimulus" package now stands at $65.5 Trillion dollars. Total US obligations, including Social Security and Medicare benefits to be paid in the future, the United States of America is officially bankrupt.
America needs to read her Constitution and its amendments to see what powers the founding fathers gave our government. It does not give the federal government the right to fund or control our schools; by eliminating the Department of Education taxpayers could lower the deficit by $59.2 billion dollars and return the control of education back to the states where it belongs.
We cannot afford anymore spending, but it won't be long before the Treasury Secretary goes before Congress asking for $3 to $4 trillion more dollars for funding the TARP kitty that already ate $750 billion last fall.
And if to add insult to injury, wait until Social Security and Medicare finds themselves insolvent. If we don't wake up and stop putting tax-and-spenders in control of our government, the future is not so whoopy.
Read your Constitution's preamble. There's a paragraph that Nicholas Cage read to Riley in "National Treasure" that says it all. The language wasn't added by Hollywood, but rather by the founding fathers. It says......
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Think about it.
