This Time Bomb is Poli-Ticking!

I would like to start by saying to the country of my birth, the country I love “Happy Independence Day!”

Now let’s turn our attention to saving her, shall we?

I am always very happy to wish my country a happy birthday but this year is much more melancholy than I want to be.  I stop to think of the direction that we have taken with the last two administrations.  First I am saddened and then I am angered.  I am incenseed at how we seemingly don’t have any freedom loving politicians anymore but even as lamentable as their lack of love for freedom is their lust for our money.

Ron Paul has been branded a maverick but has anyone stopped to wonder why Ron Paul is such a maverick?  He really shouldn’t be and that I fear is a very bad sign for our country.  The majority, if not all, of the politicians should be as protective of the purse and of our freedoms as this man.  And why is Barak Obama, a man who has spent his entire career in non-profit organization’s and in government, a wealthy man?  Yet somehow he seems to be hero of the hour not only in America but around the world.  Another major point on the negative side in my book!

How out of control we are and how irresponsible the people we have elected are.

After having a disasterously out of whack deficit left over from George W. Bush’s administration the common sense course of action should have been immediately to correct this on going fiscal irresponsibility.  But then Barak Obama and the Democrats step in to “save the day” and now we have massively boosted our national debt to even higher epoch proportions that many of us would have sanely thought unimaginable.

If a citizen or a private corporation carried this percentage of debt they would be declared bankrupt by the authorities and the courts would take over their spending activities until the issues were straightened out and settled – and in many corporate cases this would mean dissolution.  That being so, then tell me this:

Why can’t we do this with the government?  Why can’t we invoke the courts as a class action suit as citizens to stop this incredibly indefensible irresponsible spending?

This is something we who want to save our country from descinding into the abyss should seriously consider.  Why? Because our citizenry definitely don’t plan to elect responsible leaders from the office of the President on down.  Our whole entire nation seems to have forgotten that not only does authority come with responsibility but citizenship itself comes with responsibility.  If that is the case, save us from ourselves!  Let the government coffers go into receivership.  At least we would have a balanced budget and some semblance of fiscal protection for a short while.  If we don’t take this drastic action for our own selves then do it for the collective responsibility that we have our children.

I really hate lawsuits and strongly believe in arbitration but with our current government being so callously arrogant in believing they can spend trillions of dollars, money that we don’t have, and then turn their eyes toward more and more massive spending without abandon I personally believe that nothing will stop them other than the courts or a coup.  Of course, if the courts were to administer the government’s money until the budget was balanced we might not get the spending we want but we definitely would at least have it under control.

I understand that we citizens elected the government (even though I voted for “the other guys“) and the elected government has the legal authority to direct money at their discretion to program after program, programs which again many in my opinion are even unconstitutional.  But this is lacking now in responsibility.  I believe the government, especially this newly elected administration, acts almost as a crime syndicate when they operate, believing they have the right first to tax and then to go deeply into debt in our names! I am not alone in these beliefs either.  This really irresponsible gargantuan spending has to stop and only drastic measures will make them understand.

I don’t give anyone the right to create debt to me and my children.

Do you?
