Spending Your Money

That's what Congress (and other legislatures) do best. Did you know the ACTUAL federal government deficit (including entitlements such as Social Security, which they usually leave out) is $2.5 TRILLION dollars? Do you have any idea just how much money that is? I pay attention, and I even have a hard time visualizing it. And that's what they count on. Mention a trillion dollars and our etes "glaze over." I know mine do. We just can't envision so much money, so we don't worry about it, while the government lies to us about how much of OUR money they're spending. Obama tells us all about all the socialistic things he's going to do "for us." But he doesn't mention how many TRILLIONS of dollars he's going to take out of our pockets to pay for it. Hillary says she's just going to "take" money from the oil companies to pay for all her socialist ideas. Do you have any idea of the amount of POWER that would require? But that's what politicians (mostly liberals, but conservatives, too) are after: the POWER to tell us what we can, and can't do--while conning us into paying for it. (Common Sense)
