Ignorance Is Not Bliss. Ignorance Is The Tool Of Those Who Would Rule Over Us.

Something has been bothering me since Boehner and McConnell and the Republicans caved-in to raising the debt level….again. America and most of the rest of the developed world, for that matter, has been building a mountain of debt that will bury us all one day in the not to distant future. We conservative/libertarians are the […]

Democrat Congressman Has The Solution To America’s Debt Problem

The federal government’s debt has now reached the new threshold of $17 trillion. This graphic found at Richochet via Bad Blue is not very scientific but it does illustrate where our nation stands very well. That is a scary graphic, isn’t it? But, conservatives/libertarians can stop worrying (they are the only Americans who do worry […]

Is It Too Late? Is It EnevitableThat The Debt Will Crush The World Economy?

Looking for a Few Good Men and Women _ Excellent Pay and Perks
