Matt 7: 15 and 16 states: “Beware of false prophets, they come to you in sheep clothing, but are actually ravenous wolves. You shall know them by their fruit.”
In other words look at what a politician says they believe in and then look at what they do.
When Ronald Reagan was elected. the national deficit was $59 billion and the national debt was $914 billion. But, by the end of his and George the first’s terms, the debt had grown to $4 trillion and the national deficit had been "quintripeled.".
Then came the eight years of Bill Clinton and the national debt and the deficit were brought under control and a surplus was achieved.
Then George the second came into office and they both skyrocketed again.
We could talk about the Iraq war and how much money simply disappeared under the new policy of privatizing everything to Haliburton and Kellogg Brown and Root. But that would take another 5,000 words.
Why did this all happen? Because there is a belief held by these politicians that says a huge deficit will destroy the “liberal” agenda.
If they can break the government and the taxpayer, then the taxpayer finally will recognize things like Social Security and Medicare are too great of a burden.
If we make the government fail, then we will be able to make the people understand the only thing that works is the free market system. Everything must be privatized.
If you agree with them, then I would ask you to remember Enron, Goldwyn Sacks, Bank of America and all those other companies the taxpayer just had to bail out because of their irresponsible behavior.
Ask yourself if you really want them to take care of your retirement money.
Do you really trust the wolf just because he is a master salesmen?
Ask yourself how much money it takes to get elected to the Congress and the presidency, and where does all that money come from?
