Education Is The Key To Saving This Nation
These days we have the entire
worlds knowledge at our fingertips. When a person wants to know how to make a
meal, they just go online and research it. Want to fix a car? No matter how big
or small the job is you can type in some key words and presto, you have the
solution to that car problem right before your eyes. This is the way of life
for Americans; however, this is not the case when it comes to our elected
officials. With them we sit and wait for them to tell us what we want to hear,
we do no research and then to top it off we spread the information like its
gospel. I am not sure if this is our desire for a better life that forces us to
overlook peoples short comings or in many cases just avoid them all together
but this is a definite way to the demise of our great nation.
This is the reason I have created
this blog. You will notice on the top of the page there are links to other
pages, each is verifiable and their source is listed at bottom of the page. I
hope that by making the information all available in one place more people will
take a minute to actually learn the facts of what is happening to this country
and not just listen to the rhetoric from either party.
Today we have a president that
had promised the world "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans
began to slow and our planet began to heal …" and with regards to cutting
the debt in half he said "If I don't have this done in three years, then
this is going to be a one-term proposition.” But as with most politicians no
one seems to hold them accountable for anything they say. Now I agree the world could use
some healing, and the debt of our nation needs to be reduced but how can that
happen if we continue spending at the rate we do? This year for the first time
in the history of The United States of America we have allowed our national
debt to exceed the country’s Gross Domestic Production. So we are no longer
just talking about spending more than the government takes in we are spending
more than the production of the entire country. This should be of great concern to all
of us, as we are the ones footing this bill ultimately.
In this uneducated time the
president can lie to us over and over, give a smile and his disciples all
follow blindly. He has put us in so much debt that we will struggle for years
to get out, though he swore if he didn't cut bush's "unpatriotic"
deficit in half in the first term he wouldn't run for a second term. So I wonder if Bush’s adding $4 trillion to
the debt was unpatriotic, than what is adding $5 trillion called? Oh wait it is
okay if you’re smiling, cracking jokes and deceiving while doing the spending? Where is the
outrage???
This president has spent so much
of our money that if you spent $87 every second from the time of Christ
(1/1/0001) to right now, you would fall short of what he has spent. Now that's
not all the presidents’ debt, that's just Obama’s addition to our national
debt! So tell me again how this is a good change and where is the hope?
- Gas prices are currently 113% higher than when he took office January 2009 the national average was 1.78.
- Job creation-according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Obama has created a net loss in jobs to date of 879,000
- The average American household makes $2,141 less than when he started according to the U.S. Census Department
- According to the USDA there are 12,947,169 additional people have been added to food stamps during his short term.
I’m sure they are all filled with
hope. Obama sure has been great for the middle class.
Please start reading, go to the
government websites (not political propaganda pages) actual fact pages and do
your homework before you allow our country to get so far off tilt that we
cannot get it back!!!! Oh and all these numbers I give are straight from the
government's own websites so it’s all out there we just need to look.
