Obama's Debt Bomb

Let me begin by declaring that, yes, Bush, too, was a profligate spender. Under Bush during Republican spending control from 2001- 2006, Republicans added $2.8 trillion to the debt. Under Democrat spending control, from 2007- 2008, Democrats added, another $2.2 trillion IN ONLY TWO YEARS.

BUT, under Obama the spending train has accelerated out of control. Under the combination of Obama's grandiose spending, and Democrat refusal to pass a budget, from 2009-2011, the Democrats have added another $5.4 trillion to an already bloated debt.

Here is some sobering math;

The GDP of the entire world in 2011 was $65 trillion. Our debt is equal to 24% of that. This means that just for us to maintain our debt, the rest of the world needs to agree to spend 24% of their combined GDP on keeping us alive. BUT it gets better. Obama's 2013 budget proposal called for 656 new spending programs adding another $533 billion in new spending, and another $11 trillion in debt over the next ten years. And this is assuming that his $1.5 trillion in tax hikes on EVERYONE gets approved.

This reckless proposal puts every man, woman, and child in America in danger. Should interest rates rise just 2% above their current artificially retarded 1.7%, the interest on our current debt, will increase to $788 billion per year. This will crowd out other spending effectively turning us into Greece.

Who called this LEADERSHIP?

The Obamacare wars

The presidents unconstitutional decree that religious organizations must put aside their First Amendment right to practice their religion without governmental interference, is merely the first salvo in the coming wars over Obamacare.

Let me be clear; THIS IS NOT ABOUT WOMEN'S HEALTH! No one is being DENIED contraception by their employer not providing it for free. And no one yet has given a compelling reason why birth control MUST be provided by the employer for free.

This is the first order under Obamacare directing someone to buy a product that the regime decrees you must have, at a price they decree it must be provided to you. For them it also has the delicious side effect of undermining those pesky moral teachings of the Catholic Church.

The president has no constitutional authority to force someone to buy a product, or to dictate price and availability. So his "compromise" is merely a lesser unconstitutional intrusion. he takes the ridiculous step of trying to appease the Church by removing their hands by one degree, instead of forcing THEM to hand out the abortion pill Ella, they will merely be forced only to pay for the insurer to hand it out. THAT is SOOOOO much better.

The unconstitutional overreach of this administration MUST BE STOPPED! If you do not stand up for this, there will be no one left to stand up when they decree how YOU must live your life.
