It comes to mind that there is a bunch of peripheral stuff going on that has the media, politicians, and the American public so inundated with crisis, it’s hard to focus on important issues of the day. Now all of these things may be coincidence but it keeps our attention shifting from one crisis to the next, when our attention should be on one thing only, which is getting this country healthy again.

I don’t know about you, but I think the U.S. has more to worry about, more too focus on, than bringing in a new batch of refugees. If the U.S. government doesn’t tighten it’s collective belt, it won’t matter that Putin is in the Ukraine, it won’t matter that ISIS has taken another city, it won’t matter that college students are offended by whatever injustice they perceive has been done to them, it won’t matter that the LGTB community can’t buy a cake, it won’t matter how many Mexicans are here, it won’t matter whether climate change is a hoax, it won’t matter because the country will have destroyed itself  by the very people who were elected to protect her.

This country is in free fall thanks to Democrats and Republicans alike and until we stop throwing good money after bad, our fate will have already been chosen for us by political incompetence. Choose your next President wisely my friends. Keep your eye on the ball and remember the person elected will need to undo a half century of bad decisions pushed by progressive agendas and self serving politicians.

$3.25 Trillion: Government Collects Record-High Taxes in Fiscal Year 2015. Although the federal government brought in approximately $3.25 trillion in revenue in fiscal 2015, according to the Treasury, it also spent approximately $3.69 trillion, leaving a deficit of approximately $438 billion.

So to be clear, apparently 3.25 Trillion is not enough. My question, your question, and the question to be asked of our elected officials….why? If it were your family budget I would imagine you would be in trouble, maybe lose your home…….same thing for the country if you think about it.

Somebody has to run the place, but the government now employs more people than manufacturing….disgusting really.

So as you choose your next President, think about the man or women who has stood up against big government, is not content with the status quo, and is wiling to make enemies not friends in DC. I am aware of one.
