merica is bankrupt Monday, November 16, 2009 http://caledonianrecord.com/main.asp? SectionID=3&SubSectionID=19&ArticleID=47511&TM=46266.34

some unvarnished truth anyone?

To the Editor:

America is bankrupt. Our debt is $12 Trillion (T), but total debt including social security and Medicare unfunded liability is $107T. That's seven times the size of our economy that generates $2.7T a year in federal taxes. Do the math ... we're broke!

Our federal debt is increasing at a rate of nearly $4 billion a day. It's fueled by President Obama's agenda to change how this country runs and he has tripled the Bush record deficit spending in less than a year. Federal debt is now expected to quadruple in the next 10 years.

Both Republicans and Democrats are fiscally reckless with spending. By leaving debt unchecked our treasury will continue running its printing presses, interest rates will increase and that will lead to super inflation. They all should be ashamed of themselves for what they are doing to our young and to generations to come. Enough is enough!

Voters need to rise up and fight this budget cancer. Challenge politicians when they support bailouts, earmarks, new entitlements like ObamaCare and Wall Street bonuses equaling $140 billion that we can't afford. Piecemeal changes won't solve these problems. If Congress won't act responsibly, push for a balanced budget amendment and term limits to avert disaster.

Stop this generational theft that is robbing our children's future and threatens to undermine the foundation of our democracy. There's nobody with resources to bail out the U.S unlike our banking industry and General Motors.
