Depend on yourself and you’ll be fine

Many people accuse the GOP of trying to starve the poor by cutting the rate of growth of welfare and food stamp payments. I’m just so proud of these folks who are willing to donate more of their paychecks to help their neighbors who can’t or won’t work. We are $17 trillion in debt.

Countries like China and Japan have not only stopped buying our debt, they are selling it back. The Fed is now printing $3 trillion annually to service current debt. History shows that paper currency becomes worthless when too much is printed. History also shows that printing worthless paper always ends badly.

Only radical, painful cuts can save the U.S. dollar. There are not enough people who work for a living to support those who vote for a living.

Politicians have shown they are unwilling to stop the inevitable. It is up to you to protect your family. Government will no longer be there for you, and neither will your neighbor.
