The Mugging of America

Let us be perfectly clear. The U.S. government has no money. We entered this week with a National Debt of $9.65 trillion. The deficit for next year will surpass $600 billion. Every dime of these bailouts will be borrowed. They will be borrowed from China, Japan, and the Middle East. In an effort to keep our corrupt financial system afloat, we have sold another piece of our country. The prestige and status of the U.S. in the eyes of the world community have suffered a catastrophic non-reversible decline in the last nine months. "We The People" had absolutely no say in this decision.

These are trying times for the economy. Throwing money we don't have at the problems will not solve them. The debt of the corrupt few is being transferred to the prudent in exchange for - nothing.
