Hi,

Following is a link to an article that is really upsetting.  I have said for many years what happens when the welfare population can out vote the workers.  Well last month the government paid out more in welfare than it took in.

Here is the link,

"We're really spreading that wealth around now boys.", Obama.

Makes you wonder where the money is coming from.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Hi,

Actually China has stopped buying our T-Bills.  What has happened is the treasury is coming up woefully short at the auctions so several investment banks are buying them and then selling them back to the fed a few days later......of course they do not tell this to the public.

So basically we are eating our young in that we are printing worthless money to pay bills.

Yet 0Bama and the Dems believe that more spending is what is needed to get us out of this mess.  They are the definition of insanity.
