Also, let us remember that most of the debt doesn’t kick in until years 11 through 20.
Then, the real unemployment figures, including all the people who have dropped off the unemployment rolls, cannot find work or are working part-time… which are not part of the official government figures is between 14 and 16 %, depending who is compiling. There are counties in California that are now at 20% unemployment. What happened to the 400 million jobs saved and earned? 40% of the jobs lost are manufacturing and construction jobs that aren’t coming back. And if Cap and Tax, uh, Trade really does pass the Senate at some point, there will be more job losses. In every country where a forced green program has been implemented, there has been a loss of permanent jobs and a pretty quick turn-around loss of temporary jobs.
And the recent slight upsurge in the economy has come to us to by way off a $700+ Billion Stimulus Bill, a Cash for Clunkers Program, and huge incentives and discounts for first time home buyers, mostly buying distressed and discounted properties.
Add to this higher taxes for cigarettes, junk food and alcohol. What was that about no tax increases for people making under $250,000?
Then we are seeing utility shortages… like water in California. The government is asking Americans to cut back in use. Most have complied, if not they are fined. Then once everyone has cut back and does without, like good citizens, the government will realize that with less usage, comes lower tax intakes, which will cause them to up the prices. Then when you are finally allowed to use the normal amount again, the cost will remain at the higher rate. Explain that to the seniors living on a fixed income, many of whom have lost their nest eggs and retirement investments due to the economy, and won’t be getting a cost of living increase for the next 2-years… because fuel costs have ‘temporarily’ dropped. And don’t forget, Obama himself told us that Cap and Trade and moving to a green economy, which Australia, China, India, Spain etc have abandoned or refused to support, will up the costs of energy for all Americans.
Add this all up and it spells trouble!!!
And now Team Obama and the Dems want to add another $1 Trillion to $1.6 Trillion to the staggering debt for a Healthcare Bill that everyone is realizing won’t work and most Americans don’t want. And let remember:
- The White House was just 2 Trillion off in their debt estimates.
and
- It is impossible to cover more people, maintain or improve healthcare, and cut costs!
If you think healthcare is expensive now… wait until it is free.
