Did you know that in 1947, to keep the nation running, Washington only collected $2,522(in today's $)per capita in Federal revenue. Today it collects over $2.165 trillion in Federal revenue, that's about $10,200 per capita. This blog uses facts to help expose the endless torment of our two party political system. From incumbent trash that lingers on, to constantly bringing up the $110 trillion plus in unfunded liabilities from entitlement programs.

Fed to buy $600 billion in bonds in effort to boost economic recovery
Wow the Fed is going to pump $600 billion more into the system. I find this so amazing especially after what happened on Tuesday that I am going to re-quote what FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr. said in 1939
"We are spending more money than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I want to ...see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt...to boot."
Democrats Lose Control of the House But WILL THE RIGHT GET IT?
shellacking, A good Ol' Cowboy Tavern fist fight...
So, Savannah Guthrie of NBC News followed up, "You don't seem to be reflecting or second-guessing any of the policy decisions you've made. ... If you're not reflecting on your policy agenda, is it possible voters can conclude you're still not getting it?" WOW...talk about laying it on THICK!
He doesn't get it. Right now he's pointed in the direction of other passed 1 term Presidents. But will the Republican led Congress get it? Right now I like John Boehner. Unitl the Republicans will begin to understand why Americas love Sarah Palin, with all her quirkinesses, they wont get it either. I'm not a Palin fan but I like the fact that she's a Rock Star in the eyes of so many conservatives despite her quirks and I think it's hilarious that so many liberals are transparently terrified of her. So please...this is your test Conservatives. Give us a balanced budget for 2011. There is still time! The budget is in your laps!
