Care for a Double Dip?

Double dips are great for ice cream but not for recessions... Our economy is currently stalling out again because of all of the ridiculous activities on the part of the citizens and our federal government. Deficit spending, lack of accountability on the part of members of congress and the house of representatives, apathy on the part of citizens when it comes to voting or community activism.....

How can we get out of this situation? I am glad you asked.... that is a great question. Here are some answers:

1.) as citizens, we need to pay attention. Our elected officials don't always do what they are appointed to do (City of Bell??) We need to get involved and get prepared for the hard times ahead.

2.) We need to follow politics and vote: this will encourage our leaders in government (city, state, and national) to do their jobs. If they don’t we need to vote them out of office and get new ones in who will do the peoples work.

3.) We need to support our national interest and stop supporting our enemies abroad. (buy American when possible and reduce our dependence on foreign energy)

Bottom line, as Americans we need to choose our actions to support our country and deny our enemies by any means necessary to overcome this crappy situation.

We are currently standing at an economic precipice…. At our current rate of spending, our federal deficit will bankrupt our country in a matter of 1-2 years. If that happens, no country will be willing to hold US debt. (for example, the US currently owes China 2 TRILLION dollars) Every dollar our economy produces gets chewed up by taxes and those taxes are being spent to pay interest to China!!!!

We need to get elected officials to understand that they need to spend LESS than the total of all revenues (Taxes) If they don’t get the picture and start doing what is right. We will pay the price when our economy collapses.

That’s my opinion. What do you think?
