What has happened to our federal government?

In the election of 2008 we were promised a change from politics as usual. What we have received is a hyper-progressive group that is determined to bankrupt our country. That in itself is a bad step to take. When you add that it is coupled with more of the same over-spending, micro-managing government we have been experiencing for the past 2 decades then it's time to tell the legislators that we have had enough. This is the call to all Americans to vote out our legislators. All of our lawmakers. I mean mine, yours, your friends and families. Not one of them can be forgiven for taking us down the path of ruin we are headed. WE have a lot of work to undo the damage of the last 20 years and we cannot trust any of the current office holders to do the right thing. Let my blog be the catalyst for action as we reclaim our country.

It is time to tell our federal government that what they consider progress made over the past 20 years is not an acceptable path in preserving our rights, freedoms and the American way of life. Our legislators have mortgaged our future for the get rich quick schemes they accuse the wealthy of taking advantage of. In fact the Government Accountability Office, the Federal Government's auditor, argues that the U.S. is on a fiscally "unsustainable" path and that politicians and the electorate have been unwilling to change this path. According to the Presidents own budget, the federal debt will exceed 90% of the GDP for the first time since the aftermath of WWII and will rise to the point that it will exceed 100% of the GDP in 2011 and 2012. The GDP is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a nation in a year. What that means is that in 2011 and 2012 the federal government will borrow more money than the ENTIRE COUNTRY PRODUCES in each of those years. How in the world do they expect to pay for that gluttony? They have taken us from the largest lender nation to the largest debtor nation in less than 20 years. It is time to replace them. Every one of them, BEFORE THEY WRITE A CHECK THAT WE CANNOT EVER REPAY. We have an opportunity to remake the government that represents the majority. The major parties have, for decades, pandered to the extremes of their political spectrum and those extremes are growing further from the center and further from us. When the parties pander to the extreme 15% of the population that makes up the most vocal half of their party, that leaves 70% of the nation without real representation. We, the 70% the parties have forgotten about, will take back our country and institute an old friend, Common Sense!
