Honest. \u00c2\u00a0It’s the idea and not the person that I get riled up at. \u00c2\u00a0I know it seems like I’m attacking the person but I’m really just attacking the idea.<\/p>\n

Ideas like we should do another stimulus because the first one didn’t spend enough money to really stimulate. \u00c2\u00a0We are $17 TRILLION in debt. \u00c2\u00a0I think it’s time to stop spending.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this link sometime. \u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/www.usdebtclock.org\/<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 Check out the box labeled “DEBT PER CITIZEN”. \u00c2\u00a0Right now that box reads $54,037. \u00c2\u00a0That’s my share, my wife’s share, my kids share, and even my grandkids share. \u00c2\u00a0That means my 1 year old grandson Emeric currently “owes” over $54,000.<\/p>\n

Of course someone on the left will say I’m looking at it wrong. \u00c2\u00a0My answer is you’re looking at it wrong if you can’t understand the simple fact that when you find yourself in a deep hole the first thing you should do is stop digging.<\/p>\n

You can’t spend your way out of debt. \u00c2\u00a0It’s logically impossible. \u00c2\u00a0But that’s what the left wants to do. \u00c2\u00a0And that’s what I’m angry at. \u00c2\u00a0Not the people. \u00c2\u00a0The ideas. \u00c2\u00a0Some of the people I love and would do anything for. \u00c2\u00a0Some, not so much.<\/p>\n

I watch O’reilly and quite often he has far left people on his show. \u00c2\u00a0He gets into shouting matches with them but at the end of the day they are friends. \u00c2\u00a0I would hope those who’s political leanings are different than mine will do the same.<\/p>\n

And finally I’m not a Republican. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t think the Republicans have the answer anymore than the Democrats. \u00c2\u00a0I think the Republicans need to stay out of my bedroom and the Democrats need to stay out of my wallet. \u00c2\u00a0But I do think there’s a lot more damage being done to this country by the Democrats than the Republicans. \u00c2\u00a0I think the Democrats are fundamentally changing this country. \u00c2\u00a0And it doesn’t need to be fundamentally changed. \u00c2\u00a0It needs to get back to what our founding fathers had in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
