IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ASSUMING TOO MUCH?

The U.S. Government has run up history breaking deficits and now assumes that every American will go back to work and break their backs to pay off the U.S. Governments debt through higher taxes.

When ever you ass/u/me something, you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me." This is exactly what this administration is doing when it runs up a 14 trillion dollar debt and expect you and me to pay it off with our hard work. The government spends money they don't have because they assume you (the American people) will work until they drop to pay off this administrations debt through higher taxes. This assumption comes from the administrations mindset that Americans who own property, work hard and provide for their families and are successful; stole it from those who believe they are owed a free home and property from us, they also believe the government takes care of all their families, and they will become successful when the government check arrives in the mail every month, money taken from you and I!

This administration assumes alot when they assume most Americans will work hard to redistribute their hard earned money to those who wait by the mail box for their government hand-out (your tax dollars). The government has effectively made a great big ass out of themselves if they are waiting for Americans to rush out and work hard to pay off their stupid debt spending thorugh higher taxes on you and I!

They have assumed Americans will pay off this debt the government created in order to redistribute our hard earned money to the "will not work," and the "owed a life" group, effectly making an "ass" out of "u" and "me!" I refuse to work for this administration to ensure its success with the "will not work" crowd!

the premise of this piece is erroneous. The government assumes the dollar will be significantly devalued, thus making the real value of the national debt being run up considerably less.

>>The government assumes the dollar will be significantly devalued...<<

Me too. But not in the “good” way.

It is their only option, in the long run.

Actually, this government doesn't assume anything - they are demanding this; they planned for this. We are to become subservient to the government rather than the government being a servant to the people.

I have a self-employed relative who is single. As such, he does not get any tax breaks for dependents, nor for his health insurance. He is seriously looking at reducing his work load (& therefore income) to a point that he will not be taxed. It’s been difficult for him to actually come out ahead on the whole, so why work so hard to have it all taken away?

I suggest we vote these people out, arrest them, prosecute them for treason for failing to uphold the oath of office. When found guilty by a jury of their peers, that would be us (we the people), confinscate their assets to pay the debt, than carry out the sentence for treason.

I honestly think that they (congress and Obama) have no illusions that this money will ever be paid back. They expect and WANT bankruptcy.

Think of the ensuing chaos that would take place if the dollar fell and the US was forced into economic collapse.

First thing that Obama would do is declare a state of emergency and suspend the constitution.

Need I really say more?
