Things That Make You Go Hmm...

I just read a horrifying article on KSL.com regarding our national debt!  This paragraph below is directly taken from that article:

Here's what then-Sen. Barack Obama said on the Senate floor in 2006: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance the government's reckless fiscal policies."

It was a blast by the freshman lawmaker against a Bush request to raise the debt limit to $8.96 trillion.

So I guess now that our federal debt is over 14 trillion dollars, we have a serious "sign of leadership failure."  I love how he accused the government of having "reckless fiscal policies."  Ha!  Is that what they mean when the say, the pot calling the kettle black?  

When will we get our country back in shape?  Companies can't operate like this, why is government allowed to?  Our family doesn't spend what we don't have...we make cut backs to our lifestyle when funds are low...Why should government be any different?  And the sad thing is that we (and our children and grandchildren) will be stuck paying for all of this.

Just some of the things that make you go hmm..
