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.
