Another Politician Snow Job

While it may sound like a great idea to have our President sponsor more Government jobs such as building roads and things of that nature, believe me, that's not what we need. The Government doesn't have any more money to spend. The money they do spend is money they have borrowed from overseas. Borrow, borrow, borrow, and then borrow some more. Meanwhile I can just imagine the Washington politicians saying to each other, “That's awesome! That's progress. What a huge step!”

The country was in the great depression in time of FDR but we didn't have the kind of debt we have today. What we need is for our Government to lure back private businesses! When businesses feel like they can grow again, that's when we will see jobs on the rise. Government hand-outs in the form of sponsored projects or welfare, or anything else is like paying a credit card with yet another credit card. Eventually it will lead us to spiral down all the way to the bottom of the hole.

Unbelievable to some, I can almost hear the squeals of politicians as they are voted out of office in the November election.

There is a great deal in this country that truly think like that unfortunately. They have no qualms about spending massive amounts of money to build the infrastructure or provide healthcare to foreign countries. The policy makers in Washington give the impression that the US and its present currency system are toast, along with all pensions, savings, and everything else...Give me a break!

It appears that our lawmakers of today are doing absolutely nothing. And that goes for both Democrats and Republicans.
