Ending Our Grandchildren's Slavery

AMERICAN BANKRUPTCY, the seventeen trillion dollar national debt, is a disaster which will result in currency collapse and economic collapse, if nothing is done about it. If we can't fix it ourselves, maybe we can at least keep it afloat long enough to give our descendants a chance to fix it; or, to experience the collapse. Its a bad deal, a serious situation, and you just can't say it strongly enough. Leave it to Sarah Palin to try hard, however. The other day in Iowa Sarah compared the national debt to slavery; we are enslaving our grandchildren, something to that effect. Well, whatever, Sarah. You just keep right on attracting as much attention as you can. (Speech making in Iowa. Hmm... 2016 is right around the corner, isn't it)...When slavery was a reality in America, there were two kinds of people, those opposed to it, and those who favored it. The former were liberals, and the latter were conservatives. Sarah Palin and our modern conservatives, when talking about the national debt, always talk about the free stuff that the government gives away. They always talk about the so called "entitlement programs". Too many government handouts, they always say, to people who should be providing for themselves. You never hear Sarah and the conservatives mention the fact that half of the seventeen trillion dollar debt is military spending. At a million dollars a day to operate, decade after decade, those aircraft carriers cost some real money. Who is getting the free stuff this time? Large corporations who give money to politicians to get elected to vote for large military weaponry purchases from large corporations, that's who. Free corporate money going to purchase politicians, who in turn give free tax payer money to those same large corporations. Corporate welfare. Our celebrated military industrial political complex! So you just keep right on telling us about slavery, Sarah. Maybe we can all work together to release our grandchildren from bondage, by forcing them to purchase a few fewer aircraft carriers, and meals for single mothers.
