With the national debt already out of control, President Obama has added 78,000 new government jobs to the federal payroll since he took office. Obama's increase in the number of government employees will add hundreds of millions of dollars to our debt. If history is any measure, these jobs will never be eliminated. They will simply add to the mountains of debt we are leaving our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:

- vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it?

- are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?

- consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?

- want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?

- punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?

- admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?

- run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?

- want government controlled health care?

- want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?

- refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?

- appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department?

- want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?

- want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels?

- want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?

- take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?

Obama and Congress continue to spend money the government doesn't have. The deficit for the current year will be $1.8 trillion, 50% of the total budget. In order to pay interest on the debt, the government will have to cut spending, raise taxes, print more paper money or borrow from another country like China, which already holds billions of U.S. debt. With no end of spending in sight, some estimates project that our national debt could reach $8 trillion by the year 2014.

How much is a trillion dollars?

* A stack of one trillion one-dollar bills would reach 68,000 miles in space.

* If you spent $1 million dollars a day from the day Jesus was born until now, you would only have spent about three quarters of a trillion.

* If you laid one trillion one-dollar bills end to end, it would make a chain from the earth to the moon 200 times.

* One trillion dollars would stretch nearly from the earth to the sun.

* It would take a jet flying at the speed of sound, reeling out a roll of dollar bills behind it, four years before it reeled out one trillion dollar bills.

* A million seconds is 11.5 days. A billion seconds is 32 years. A trillion seconds is 32,000 years.

It's actually a giggle when I see 'tea party.' I know they thought they were evoking the Boston Tea Party, but what it really evokes is a bunch of Victorian rich bitches sitting around talking about the 'help problem.'

I forgot all about this stupid idea. Not getting much coverage even on republican talk radio. I do sometimes listen to them to hear just how out of control the republicans have become. They are not a bunch of rednecks, they are just a bunch of misguided people. I really doubt many people show up like they would want you to believe. It's a joke.

No way. I have friends and family I'd rather be partying with.
