How many people are ignorant of the fact that on April 8, 2011, the US government came within one hour of shutting down? The next day, I went around town and asked everyone I talked to if they knew the government nearly shut down. Only one man knew anything about it.
Sometimes I think most people strive for ignorance. Of course they say "ignorance is Bliss". These people probably wouldn't know the government collapsed until the handouts stopped coming.
The Republicans and Democrats finally agreed to raise the debt ceiling, so the government could go farther in debt to Communist China, and other countries, to keep the status quo. The last I heard, the national debt averaged $32,000 for every man, woman, and child in America. Have you paid your share yet?
Now, on May 16, 2011, the US government reached the latest debt ceiling. So far, the sky hasn't fallen, the sun still shines,, and the almighty government is still in business controlling our lives. The debt is now $14 Trillion, 300 Billion. Can anyone imagine how much that is?
Tim Geitner, who has experience cheating on his taxes, and is Obama's Treasury Secretary, has traded spending around to keep them in business. One thing he has done is cut back on government retirement funds.
These overpaid people who get paid %20 to %40 more than the private sector, and work half as hard, can afford to pay for their own retirement anyway.
Maybe it's a good thing Obama has a tax cheat working for him. Can you imagine what would happen if Geitner was a Republican though? He would have been gone long ago.
The Obamacrats now are forced to cut spending. A few able-bodied loafers may have to go to work It ain't all bad.
