GAO Head Takes Fiscal Show On The Road To Warn Of Trouble Ahead

This is from MSNBC:

"Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finances shows that nearly 40 percent of the country's wealth is held by the richest 1 percent."

Is this statistic true? If it is, that is a very serious matter, a matter of crime. It's unAmerican. For these same folks to dare to whine about the cost of social programs seems suicidal to me. You would think they would hide in their ugly McMansions and cower in fear there, not come out and try to take the food off the table of some poor old people or take the medicine from some poor kid.

297 million of us. 3 million of them. They have half of everything, and are trying to take the rest. Perhaps we should discourage them.

This is another attempt by big banking and the bloodsucking thieves to try to cut our benefits and social security.

The "bankruptcy" of America is being intentionally engineered to lower the standard of living and get rid of the safety net, which really torques the most evil rich people who infest our country like vermin. They want one thing and one thing only - compliant and easily oppressed servants. They want to hurt and break Americans until we are willing to work as slaves, to clean their toilets, to raise their kids, to die for them while they drink champagne and laugh on our graves.

What do we Leave Behind In Iraq if we leave now?
The answer to this question is that we leave no more dead or maimed American Soldiers, family members, contractors, nor journalists. We take with us our two Billion TAX Dollars a week back to America and put it to use in America. Leaving the forty plus billion tax dollars still unaccounted for behind in Iraq to be used as those who took them see fit. We leave the Iraqi people who are currently fighting each other to fight. There will be no more need for (IED) Improvised Explosive Devises because we would have removed all our lightly armored Hummers and equipment. Halliburton will have to renegotiate their contract with the Iraqi leaders. So you see we can disengage from Iraq without any %u201CImmediate Threat%u201D of harm to the American People and without the fear of them coming after us with a mushroom cloud, yellow cake, or chemical weapons. It is a %u201CSlam Dunk%u201D that there are currently people at the Rand Corporation, Harvard Business School, Ohio State University, Virginia Military Institute, at most American High Schools or other businesses, that if ask, can come up with a operational plan to disengage from Iraq and bringing our troops and equipment home safely to America.

"Medicare so dominates the nation's fiscal future that some economists believe health care reform, rather than budget measures, is the best way to attack the problem."

Oh really? This could have happened during the Clinton administration. REMEMBER?

Sorry rbird, that was a bit callous. I certainly was not referring to people who cannot afford electricity. I meant the retirees, and there are many, who do not need freebies. The ones who retired from companies with big pension packages. It seems as though the current generation of retirees has it better than any previous or future generations.

So why does El Presidente say everything's great- this is his big spending binge.

FINALLY! Thank you for this article!
I've been preaching about how the US is Bankrupt for many years.
Americans have false perceptions built mostly by the Media in this country. The Media not affected by unfair trade. "foreign competition" or anything else outside the good old USA. thinks there is no such thing as Steel dumping, or any other unfair practice by other countries.
Factories closing all over the US for the last 30 years have not attracted more than a few seconds on the nightly news. We let foreign auto makers build plants in our country while not paying US taxes without a single article in the Press about how this in hurting our economy. The fact that the Japanese keep all US autos, trucks and just about every other US product out of Japan is never a topic of how this is hurting the US economy. The Japanese and others suck billions out of our economy while all the US does is go into debt burrowing money from these same countries. We need to wake up and address UNFAIR TRADE and OUR NATIONAL DEBT.. Wake Up America! When GM and FORD's stock goes up so does our economy. GM, FORD and our US companies bring money into our economy instead of sending it overseas. Foreign Plants in the US are here to do one thing. suck money out of economy! They trade one job for 1000, we gain one job and loose a thousand while our national debt goes up and our children will pay dearly and they will have a lower standard of living.
