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.
Dear George,
The Gulf oil spill opened my eyes.
As with Hurricane Katrina, it happened suddenly. I barked out orders. I pounded my desk. But the oil kept flowing. Worse, the nation watched it all on television and said: "Why doesn't the President do something? Doesn't he care?" From then on, I fully understood both the expectations and the limitations of this job.
