I worry about America

I worry about what our government leaders are doing.

We pay them fabulous salaries to make the best decisions for us. Instead they are running our country into the ground incurring huge debt and still spending! Don't start expensive no win wars.  Stop trying to make natural health products illegal. Stop closing down and regulating the small farmer.

So what have we learned in 2,064 years ?

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." ... Cicero - 55 BC

We must not ever spend more than we have. If I can do it the government should set a good example and do it too.

The government should be as small as possible not trying to take over everything with more and more people on the payroll to check up on the people that aren’t.

The government needs to uphold the Constitution, promoting privacy and freedom. Have them stop trying so hard to eavesdrop on and control the people.

Have the government fear the people not the other way around.

Have people get off government payments. Now 58%+ get a government check for non productivity. How long can the few productive workers float all the bills? What happens if it all stops? People aren’t used to providing for themselves anymore. No survival skills. TV and a government check doesn’t make you a survivor. I ask people what would you do if the lights went off, the water was off and you have one flush of your toilet left? “I have no idea.” “Sit on the couch till I die.” In the end who will be left are the knowledgeable people, Tupperware, cockroaches... and Cher.

I suggest getting debt free, have a paid for mortgage, grow a garden and save your own food, create your own electricity and water. Don’t need much of any income to still live well. Don’t be dependent on anybody. Get out of the false security zone. Be as self sufficient as you can. If the outside world turns off have it not make any difference to your lifestyle.
