the economy is scary

Snippets from Glenn Beck:

"And $53 trillion is (drum roll please) the approximate size of this country's bill for the Social Security and Medicare promises we've made.

Realizing that Americans have become pretty much numb to these kinds of ridiculous sounding proposals, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson tried to up the ante this week. "Without change," he said, "Rising costs will drive government spending to unprecedented levels, consume nearly all projected federal revenues, and threaten America's future prosperity."

Translation: Every single tax dollar that is sent to Washington will be used to pay for just these two programs.

That means no money is left for anything else. Nothing."


Is that absolutely scary to anyone else but me?! Is anyone else over the whole Obama/Wright thing and the Clinton/sniper fire thing? I get it, they're both shady and untrustworthy. Can we move on and get to the issues that matter, aka our money & livelihood????
