You cannot spend your way out of a recession. You cannot regulate the economy into oblivion and expect it to function. You cannot tax people and businesses to the point of near slavery and expect them to keep producing. You cannot create an abundance of money out of thin air without making all that paper worthless. The government cannot make up for rising unemployment by just hiring all the out of work people to be bureaucrats or send them unemployment checks forever. You cannot live beyond your means indefinitely. The economy must actually produce something others are willing to buy. Government growth is the opposite of all these things. Under the Obama adminsitration, our national debt has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. Just look at how the curve is going parabolic in recent years.
When I was born, the national debt was about $500 billion. It's now 29 times that amount and climbling fast thanks to Obama's tax and spend policies. If this continues, our country will ultimatly go bankrupt. What will be the breaking point? 20 trillion? 30 trillion? At what point does our ability to repay the national debt become a major problem causing foreign countries to dump the dollar and stop using it as the world's reserve currency? China cannot finance our debt forever. It will end eventually. This U.S. dollar collapse will lead to the collapse of the entire global financial system.
Let us not forget the former Soviet Union invaded Afganistan and then went into massive debt to finance the war. This eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Flash forward a few decades, and The United States of America is headed down the exact same path. It's almost as if this is a giant plan detailing how to destroy a nation... and we're following this plan to the letter. Will America fragment like The Soviet Union? Will Texas and New Hampshire be the first states to break away? If you've been paying attention... you know they've been very vocal about this lately.

You are now looking at the REAL trajectory of employment in the United States. After looking at this chart, how can anyone believe the United States economy is improving?? It's extremely clear to me that recovery is now a fantasy.
At 64.2%, the labor force participation rate (as a percentage of the total civilian noninstitutional population) is now at a fresh 26 year low, the lowest since March 1984, and is the only reason why the unemployment rate dropped to 9% (labor force declined from 153,690 to 153,186). Those not in the Labor Force has increased from 83.9 million to 86.2 million, or 2.2 million in one year! As for the numerator in the fraction, the number of unemployed, it has plunged from 15 million to 13.9 million in two months! The only reason for this is due to the increasing disenchantment of those who completely fall off the BLS rolls and no longer even try to look for a job. Lastly, we won't even show what the labor force is as a percentage of total population. It is a vertical plunge.
Contrary to what you're being told by the corporate controlled media, the United States economy is NOT improving! It's actually getting worse! Over the past 2 decades, our manufacturing capabilties have been completely annihilated by unbridled "Free Trade" with countries that pay their citizens SLAVE WAGES.
If America was a business it would be
OUT-OF-BUSINESS. I'd like to thank Walmart, China, and all of our greedy "elected officials" for taking two decades to destroy our country. Thanks for doing it nice and slow, so nobody notices what's really going on behind the curtain. Death by a thousand cuts is soooooo loving. WAKE UP AMERICA!! GET OFF YOUR ARSE!
God Dammit... I feel like yelling now... "THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER SIR!!??"

In response to increasing federal encroachment, a growing number of states, including New Hampshire, have passed and proposed resolutions to assert the Tenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.

April 6, 2009 - Congressman Ron Paul
"As our mountain of debt is projected to double with the new budget, many are wondering how long our country can keep this up before serious repercussions are felt. Obviously we can't continue down this road indefinitely. Certainly, no country has ever prospered when their public sector spent half or all of the nation's GDP. Yet we are saddled with leadership that seems unwaveringly convinced that the key to prosperity is public spending. This will be exposed for the lie that it is when our creditors wake up and call in our debt."
"The temptation at that time will be for the government to simply print up dollars in the amount needed. This type of debt repudiation could signal the end of the dollar as its value sinks to zero. We are seeing all the signs that this could happen. Certainly there are no signs of the alternative, which is paying down debt and taking the path of fiscal responsibility. Tragically, it is those who save their dollars, the most prudent and responsible among us, that will be hurt most by this irresponsibility in Washington."

Was president Kennedy crazy? No... He was smart! America needs another Apollo Program. We would quickly create millions of jobs here on Earth. Let's get back to the business of space exploration. We had the technology 40 years ago!
