President Obama's own budget sends the U.S. government to a potential tipping point where the debt reaches 90 percent of gross domestic product.

This is why Krauthammer is right: the way for the GOP/TEA to take back this government is to wrap EVERYTHING into the unsustainability of Obambi's spending. The way to get rid of Obambicare is first and foremost to educate people on how it is going to literally bankrupt this country and destroy it.

Krauthammer agrees with this ruinous Fed policy which is allowing the government to bankrupt this country.

Obama's spending has hastened the bankruptcy process, but the entitlement programs are unsustainable as currently structured. The represent an almost $60 trillion unfunded liability over a 75 year period and that does not include Obamacare.

In 1950 there were 16 workers for every retiree. Today there are 3.3, and by 2030 there will be two. By 2030, the number of Americans over 65 will be one in five, which is twice what it is today. Americans have been living beyond their means for decades.

And then there is immigration. We are importing 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, most of them poor and uneducated. 53% of immigrant headed households are on welfare. As Milton Friedman said, "You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.” We have both.
