The Government finally admits: We are in Trouble!

Well, well; it's about time that the government has finally admitted that we have a problem and if we don't act we will be in serious trouble. The only problem with that is we are already in serious trouble. The fact that the wound has not begun to bleed does not mean we don't have a cut. It simply means that the band-aid; for now is holding. It is any ones guess how much longer that it will hold. However, anyone can tell that it's time is growing shorter and shorter. Our way of life, our day to day lives hang in the balance. I do not believe that China would try to start a war as some would say. It is not in their best interest to do so. America remaining solvent and somewhat stable is in there best interest. If we collapse how can we pay the billions now owed to China? Serving their interest is all China is concerned about. Would they object if we were a proxy-U.S./China country? No, they wouldn't. If they could assume control over us without a military conflict they would be more than happy to sweep in and rescue us. In the long run they would use our resources; natural or personnel. Basically taking what they want when they need it. Is that the America we want to give our children? I would imagine that most of you would say no. All of us should say no, however with progressives and leftists they may consider America being a mere extension of "Mother" China, a pleasant alternative to actually running the country ourselves. A life of indentured servants may sound good to some, as for myself and a good many others I suspect that would not be satisfactory, to say the least. After the last fall elections the Congress is just now admitting that we have a spending problem. A spending problem? It's already spent, not that we are currently spending into oblivion. We are already into the great financial unknown. I consider it progress, however slow it may be; but at least the newly elected Congress is admitting there are problems. Whereas the Democrats claim that we do not need to spend but to invest in America. Isn't "investing" in America the same thing as "tarp"? We cannot, we must not continue to spend or we may as well light the match ourselves and watch Rome burn. Some say Rome isn't burning, it's burnt. We can make that statement true by allowing our government to remain out of control. President Obama seemed as though nothing was wrong and with just a little readjustment of spending procedures we can change our economic woes. I'm sorry Mr. President but you sir, "Are still out to lunch"! We must restructure our tax codes and simplify them, so that ALL pay taxes, not just the rich or affluent Americans. For too long the lower wage earners have not payed their share of taxes. While the top 10% of America foots the bill for the majority. People who have worked to get ahead or weather they were born into wealth, their wealth does not exist so the citizens at the bottom can play for free. If we have no "top 10%", there are no jobs for those on the lower end to work. If is as simple as the cliche "You can't bite the hand that feeds you". What happens when one does that? You quit being fed! Why would someone want to feed a dog that keeps biting it? They wouldn't. They would have the animal put down and find another animal that will respect them. Americans have gotten so turned around being "politically correct", and "identifying with minorities" that we have forgotten that the "Needs of the many outweigh the few, or the one". Instead we allow special interest groups to write our laws, minorities dictate what our government is concerned with, foreign interest outweigh our own. That is not what the founders wanted, it's not what we want. It's just what the "left" tells us we want. They say, "this is a tragedy", so-in-so was violated, this group of people needs more than what everyone else has. Bowing our knee to every wrong will only guarantee one thing. That we eventually bend the other knee and never rise again. We need leaders who will make tough decisions, decisions that they know will not make everyone happy but is best for everyone. America is being destroyed by cancer. The cancer of political correctness, bowing to every minority and every injustice. I'm sorry but the world is not a perfect place and you cannot legislate a perfect world. You cannot dictate someones thoughts by passing more laws. Now when I say "bowing to every minority", that does not mean that the Civil Rights movement should not have happened. What African-Americans (I'm not comfortable saying African-Americans. They are not from Africa, they are from America), was unspeakable. Hating someone, abusing them, killing them, denying them rights simply because they are a different color is unspeakable and we cannot justify our forefathers for their actions during that tumultuous time. Now when I say that I'm not comfortable calling them African-Americans, that in no way means I think it's OK to call them vulgar slang. However I am of Scotch/Irish/German descent but I do not call myself a Scottish, Irish, German, American, because I never lived in any of those countries and would know the first thing about living live there. So why would any minority put the country of their ancestry before -American? I fully understand if they have came here and are first generation Americans and this was not the land of their birth. Just as I have detoured onto race and the minefield of correct speech it is the exact point I am trying to make. We lose focus, we back stab one another, and amidst the chaos our country suffers.
Well until next time I eagerly await any comments from any and all who wish to discuss the problems that face our great country. I do however do not want any bigots or racists. There is no place for what you have to say on here. Go somewhere else please.. and remember please keep it civil. Agree to disagree!
