Has anyone sat down and thought about what is happening financially to America?
We are out of money. We borrow over 20% of what we bring in.
Our debt rating has been lowered and a second lowering is around the corner. This will push up the costs of the money we borrow.
The interest on the money we owe is more than 35% of what we bring in, in taxes.
We are being threatened/attacked by 5 or 6 countries in the Mideast.
Somewhere between 24 million and 50 million people are living on Government handouts.
Our leaders have ignored the budget, debt and the problem in general for the sake of their jobs.
Idiots in Washington have added almost a million government jobs in the last 5 years thinking it solves the unemployment problem, never thinking they will need more money to pay those people.
Guess what? The money is about to run out and there will be tens of millions of people that will need food and shelter.
Desperate people will do anything to keep from starving.
In the meantime the interest rate for the USA to borrow money will go up to 9% escalating the whole mess.
