THE TRUTH IS TOUGH STUFF
THE TRUTH IS ------ AMERICAN GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO
TIGHTEN THE FINANCIAL BELT
America’s elected leaders continue to
spend money as if it grows on trees and they own the forest. At the present, I don’t see how anyone could
doubt that American has an out-of-control federal government that is paying
little or no attention to the wishes of the people. It is my firm belief that
the majority of Americans are tired of governmental wasteful spending. If
government leaders do not stop this irresponsible spending, at some point the
people will put a stop to it. Just what
form that will take I hate to predict, but sooner or later the people will
force leaders to adhere to their needs. I believe that something has to give,
and I also believe that it’s not far down the pipeline. Every day more
Americans are waking up to the fact that we have a corrupt and out-of-control
governing body, and they realize that sitting on the sidelines and doing
nothing will not solve the problem.
The person or persons who came up
with the idea that America
could borrow money to give away, should be declared insane. I do not know which
is worse, the insanity of the policy or the insanity of the American voters who
continue to re-elect these people to office. History will have no other choice
than to declare this policy one of the worse economic policies the world has
ever known.
It should be a wake up call to all
Americans when the federal government can, within minutes, agree to give
billions of tax payers’ dollars to foreign nations, and on the other hand
debate for days and fail to pass legislation that benefits Americans. A few
examples are increased veteran’s benefits, lower interest rates on student
loans, increased minimum wages, extended benefits for the unemployed, and the
list goes on.
In the history of all great nations,
the people were the first to realize what damage an out-of-control government
could do, and I believe that the American people are close to that point of
realization.
