I gotta tell ya, I'm about this close to giving up entirely on the American people. We are now at a time when we are being faced with what must be considered as being the most dire situation, a $17 Trillion debt, that we have ever been made to face in our history. And make no mistake, it’s a situation that we have essentially brought on ourselves. We hear everyday from those who tell us that this simply can’t go on and that at some point our entire economic and financial structure is going to come crashing down on us. But what is it that we choose to do instead of actually trying to fix it?
Well, apparently, what we’re willing to do about it is nothing more than to ride it out and right into the ground, because where things are headed. We seem to be perfectly comfortable with the fact that we’re doing nothing more than to live off the money that our children have yet to make. We’ve decided that what’s best for us is to simply throw our kids overboard without the benefit of a life preserver. Because instead of believing those who are doing their best to warn us, we would rather believe those who continue to tell us that everything is just fine. Believe me when I say ignorance is not bliss.
But we’re, apparently, too stupid to see that those who are telling us that everything is fine and that there is no need for us to worry, have their own motives for doing so, none of which have anything to do with us or the country. Those folks, and I include Barry and just about every other Democrat in that crowd, have spent decades trying to engineer just the collapse that they are now on the verge of turning into a reality. And I’m not naïve enough to think that they haven’t had plenty of Republican accomplices along the way, because there have been plenty of those.
But our fate is in our hands. However, we are rapidly running out of time to exercise any options. To see what can be the only outcome possible regarding the current path we are on, one need look no further than Detroit, or nearly any other big city where Democrats rule. Sadly, we’ve allowed things to go on for so long now that anything that can be considered as being a true remedy to our current situation is going to be painful. But painful or not, we’re going to have to do what, I would hope in our hearts, we all know has to be done. And I can understand the fact that people are afraid, but we must act.
And by acting I mean that we need to start listening, I mean really listening, to those who profess that we have absolutely nothing to worry about. And we need to seek information outside of those sources that we typically use, if any, to gain information. We need to use ourselves as being the example for what’s going on in the country. Most folks live on a budget, they don’t spend their money willy-nilly. This country has not had a budget in 6 years. You can’t spend more money than you bring in, but that has become the standard operating procedure for country, more so in recent years.
And what we are going to have to do, and this might be the most difficult of all, is to put party politics aside. What we must do is to look past whether a candidate has a D or an R after their name. We need to focus on what it is that they intend to do about the fact that we, as a country, are simply spending too much money. And we need to be very wary of them if they insist upon being one of the naysayers who smile and then tell us that we have nothing to worry about. In today’s political environment it has become very difficult, if not impossible, to trust anyone in politics, but we may be forced to.
But having said that, we’re going to have to change how we look at career politicians. Folks talk about term limits without considering the fact that if, when voting, Americans chose to put the overall condition of the country as their top priority, those who seem to be so determined to destroy it would be voted out, no matter how long they had been in office. We the People have the power, the question is will we ever choose to use it? Our survival as a free nation rests squarely in our hands. We can save ourselves, but the clock is running and we have very little time left. Either we act now, or we die.
And just one last thing here, if we think that we can rely on those in our state-controlled media to tell us the truth, then we’re only fooling ourselves. Because it’s just not going to happen. It’s pretty common knowledge, or at least it should be, that the majority of print and broadcast media is very firmly in the Democrat camp, and can be counted to reliably spew nothing more than the Democrat position on any issue. And anyone who disagrees with them is portrayed as being an extremist. We can no longer afford to fall for such nonsense. It’s simply no longer a viable option. It just isn’t.
