So far during Obama’s presidency, the federal government has borrowed a net total of $6,643,363,305,451.78. That works out to an average of approximately $1,328,672,661,090 per year, or $104,300,803,895,565 over 78.5 years.
the looter mentality.....
America has finally reached the point where telling the truth....even suggesting that we talk about the truth-- about our financial situation is political suicide.
Look at how quickly Paul Ryan was demonized after he made some fairly reasonable suggestions about Medicare.
Old people are up in arms at the thought (even though Ryan did not suggest it) that their entitlements might be cut. Young people were camping out in public parks, aimlessly demanding even more entitlements and free stuff.
Middle aged people are mostly going to work every day trying to make ends meet. Some of them believe the hype about the "99% vs 1%" when they aren't dreaming of becoming one of the 1%.
But it isn't really 99% vs 1%. It's come down to the 50% vs 50%.
50% of this country works hard and produces. The other 50% are what Ayn Rand called "looters"-- these are people who basically believe the idea that their “economic self-interest” means voting yourself a share of your neighbor’s earnings.
Those who have resisted entering the warm and comforting cocoon of denial understand that real "economic self-interest" dictates behavior quite different from the entitled, childish and destructive looter mentality.
Not only does the left "aim low", their fundamental economic assumption is that the only way to get wealth is to steal it from someone else because they cannot imagine how to create it.
The looter simply cannot imagine running out of other peoples' money. For them, "hope and change" means finding newer, more improved ways of fucking stealing it.
