Our big spending national government—whether Republican, Democrat or whatever—ran up a national debt approaching ten trillion dollars during the 220 and some odd years prior to Obama taking office. During Obama’s 8 year term, our big spending government nearly doubled that debt. No one’s fault (cough, cough), but we and our posterity are now staring at an unbelievable, unmanageable, unsustainable, unpayable mountain of twenty trillion dollars in accumulated debt with no let up in sight! In fact they want to continue the wholesale printing and spending of money we don’t have and they’re planning on raising the debt ceiling to do it.
What happened to our founders concept of LIMITED government?
Someone please take the bill writing, treaty making, money printing and check signing machines away from these blithering idiots and cut up their credit cards!!
And that’s precisely why we the fed-up people elected Republican majorities in the house, senate and the majority of our local and state governments and elected Donald J (You’re Fired) Trump to the presidency!
Unless we want to see our economy and our nation crash and burn, we must stop the fiscal insanity! NOW!
Emergency FULL STOP and reverse course!
We are on the path to destruction on a biblical scale, but God has given us one more chance. And I sincerely believe that this is our last chance. We have one shot to get it right and if we fail, our nation will be following Europe and the rest of the world down the tubes. Global depression. Nothing but scorched earth and desolation for all of western civilization. Don’t think it can’t happen. God has a history of proving you wrong.
We have no choice but to immediately stop the spending. I’m very sorry Mr. President, but the federal government is broke and cannot “take care” of the medical problems for all the people. Having the federal government take care of the people is what got us where we are. The tenth amendment clearly reserves “taking care of the people” to the states AND the people themselves. It’s not your job!
If Mr Ryan and Mr McConnell, et al, send you a bill that fails to repeal every word of the unconstitutional ObamaCare federal health care power grab and or if the replacement plan continues even one iota of federal mandate or control over health care, then it must be vetoed and sent back. We must repeal every word of it as you and every Republican pledged to do during the primaries. Nothing less than full repeal and return to free markets will suffice. As you have stated many times, Obamacare will implode and self-destruct on its own. And so will RYANcare. It’s unworkable, unsustainable and unconstitutional. If the congress fails to repeal it, we must let it die on its own. Meanwhile, we can strip it where we can, cut funding where we can, eliminate roadblocks to free market solutions where we can and let the states take over where we can as the founders intended.
Mr. President, you are the greatest negotiator in the world and you have our full and devoted attention. The press, the people and the entire world listens intently to your every speech and tweet. We are crying for government restraint and a return to fiscal and social sanity. Please use your God-given talents to sell the naysayers in the media and big government circles (and us) that by cutting government, cutting regulations, repealing ObamaCare, cutting spending, cutting taxes, securing the borders, securing the nation, making better treaties and trade deals, etc, will improve the economy, improve conditions for economic investment and jobs, will lift all boats and will bring more money into the treasury and will help us to begin reducing the debt for a change, Oh, and of course, that drilling, mining and manufacturing will put us back on the path to national prosperity and security.
Your passion and devotion to God and country coupled with your commonsense solutions, grasp on sound financial and economic principles, salesmanship and God-given natural communications talents and ability to bypass the media got you elected.
Please do not stop campaigning and please do not stop convincing your fellow Americans that freedom is far superior to godless socialism and please keep your eye on the prize. Do not allow Ryan, McConnell, the GOPe, the democrats or the media or anyone else sway or distract you from the path you are on. You have been on track for what we the people have been starving for ever since the day you came down that escalator.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
Cut, baby, cut. Drill, baby, drill!
Free-markets, free people or bust.
Like the man said, what do we have to lose? Continue with godless big government socialism, we lose it all.
Paraphrasing William F Buckley, someone must stand athwart history and yell STOP! That was us, Mr. President. When we sent you to Washington.
“Continue with godless big government socialism, we lose it all.”

I disagree that big gov socialism and it’s supporter’s are “godless”. It, and they, have many “gods” (lowercase “g”).
It - and they - do indeed reject God, though.
Jim, one thing is spending on our citizens another is to be shelling out for the rest of the world. How about billing all these other countries that we go to war to ‘give them democratic governments’ and otherwise protect them with our blood and treasure. The costs are never ending once started. We can’t leave. We pay and pay. Bill them. No pay, we walk.
Indeed.
You stock up on food and water, guns and bullets.
Yes, they do reject God. And there are severe consequences when nations who know better reject God.
Bump!
And buy American, baby, buy American. Let's create American tax payers to pay for OUR infrastructure, military, and space programs instead of China's.
Does Trump intend to present a budget?
IMO, there is one last option our Founders left in the Constitution for this situation and President Trump may be the one man who can help make it happen.
The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic explains how Article V of the Constitution holds the answer to our runaway government. It outlines the process of an Article V Convention of States (CoS) which would present amendments to the Constitution that could reign in the federal leviathan. The book is written by Mark Levin.
Article V (CoS) is yet another testament to the pure genius of our Founders as it bypasses the federal government in the amendment process. Congress cannot stop the process.
President Trump has mentioned that he wants term limits on congress. “An Amendment to Establish Term Limits for Members of Congress” is the title of ch 2 of the book and there is so much more that I think President Trump would rally to.
Even though the executive has no formal part in an Article V convention, the timing of this particular president may truly be providential in this matter. Trump could be an enormous driving force behind the needed awareness campaign to bring this to greater national attention.
There is already significant momentum as the number of states required is getting close. If Trump were to push this we may reach the number in the 2018 midterms.
To the naysayers please consider that it was the Framers themselves who proscribed this process and included it in our Constitution for the very situation we are now in.
In order to MAGA we must MGCA!
President Trump, Make Government Constitutional Again!
When G W Bush took office the debt was around $4.5 trillion.
When Obama took office the debt was around $9 trillion.
When Trump took office the debt was nearly $20 trillion.
If there is no change in the political handouts by Republican and Democrats the debt could be $40 trillion when Trump leaves office in 2014.
Overspending is not only a Democrat phenomena. (Though the Democrats seem to be better spenders than the Republicans).
A whole lot of Cantorizing needs to happen.
Jim may I share this on my facebook page with or with out credit ?
Buy guns ammo brass beer and long life food and water
Very well said. Americans need to once again come to understand the value of freedom. With freedom and liberty comes opportunity for those willing to work hard, for any American.
President Reagan warned us what happens if we do not pass this on to then next generations, the value of freedom. I’ve battled many liberals and found out they do not understand this so President Reagan’s warning is coming true. It’s sad they have been indoctrinated in to this statist culture for at least the last half century.
I don’t think it’s too late for them to learn the value of freedom with all the fail coming from this leftist culture, including the nation’s dept whopper. In fact, I’ve seen quite a few millennials on Youtube that are waking up to the mess these statists are leaving them. That’s a good sign.

BTTT ...
I agree with the thrust of your post. Trump will soon realize that no one man can save our republic. The Establishment/Dark State will stymie his efforts. Should President Trump endorse the CoS, nothing will stand in the way.
Three Cheers for Mark’s Liberty Amendments!
Agreed.
Stay true, Mr. President.
Bravo Amen and and Hallelujah!!
PJR 2020! (or 2024)
There’s the FreeRepublican party platform!
What security does the creditor have that lent money to this brain dead society ?
Let them reposes FDR, Lyndon Johnson, Obama and the Democrat Party.
No one here gave permission to borrow the money.
There would be less than zero money left, due to interest.
