The numbers are just staggering. Also, because Republicans squandered their credibility on deficits years ago, they have been unable to offer effective opposition.

The American people are becoming more savings and thrift oriented now. Ironically, this is one of the reasons the economy has been slow, as credit-based spending has been a fuel of economic growth in the past.

If the average American citizen wrote hot checks like our federal government.

They’d be in jail.

Keep up the pressure y’all. Town halls, Tea parties, faxes, emails, letters, phone calls.

Tell your representatives and senators.....

YOU ARE SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE, NOT ROYALTY.

Money in savings fueled the economy too. It was loaned to business which created jobs. Now business are scared to expand, they don’t want to become targeted.
