Not a Problem

America should be enraged by the president’s comment on the David Letterman show recently. When asked about the landmark national debt, the president said that it is “not a problem” right now. I have a real big problem with that!! Most Americans get up early in the morning to go to work (while the President goes golfing) so that they can give a lot of money to the government and almost half of that hard earned money goes JUST TO PAY INTEREST on the national debt. It doesn’t pay the debt, no, just for the privilege of being in bondage for another month. How can the President say this isn’t a problem when we are wasting our lives paying for his wasteful spending? That money is not defending us from danger or building roads or bridges. It isn’t even money redistributed to the poor. It is money that I earned that is going to pay for the transgressions of a government that can’t control its use of the federal credit card. Believe me, this is a problem.
