The Forgotten Man (Young People Should Watch This)...

Two powerful videos (via Ace of Spades) with a powerful message.  Young people, you especially need to watch this.

The American people have elected leaders who are spending America into oblivion and we're totally ignoring the financial harm they, and by extension us, are doing to this country and our future.  In 2011, 43 out of every 100 dollars the federal government spent was BORROWED!!  Since the government spent $3,600,000,000,000 ($3.6 trillion)  that means the government borrowed $1,548,000,000,000 ($1.548 trillion).  Total federal debt is now $15,400,000,000,000 ($15.4 trillion).  Your share of the debt is about $49,100.  If you spent money like the federal government and spent a total of $50,000 last year you would've borrowed $21,500.

McNaughton's paintings powerfully portray how a willing American populace is allowing and empowering our government to enslave us with debt.

ELECTIONS MATTER!  Vote for congressman, senators and a president who will exercise spending discipline when you step into the voting booth this November.
