America Has Bleak Prospects With Obama’s Deficit Spending

You cannot deny that the national debt has reached catastrophic proportions.    Without casting guilt on anyone all Americans have to see the damage the unbridled spending of Washington is and will do to America.  I would first like to personally thank previous generations for their contribution to the destruction of my savings account.  Then, I would like to confront the problem before it does lead to chaos, as Rand Paul warned in his victory speech after winning the Primary Republican Senate Election in Kentucky.

As the national debt reaches astronomical proportions, it has become impossible to ignore.  The fourth branch of government, "We the People", has finally stepped up to hold those who recklessly spent billions of America's dollars responsible. Paul said, "The tea party movement is about saving the country from a mountain of debt that is devouring our country."

 Megan Barth, Vice President of Business Development for Red County and Tea Party activist, says "Right now the debt is at about $13 Trillion; that works out to $42,000 per citizen, $118,000 per taxpayer".    To those who disregard the country's current financial status Barth warns, "You can't say "oh this doesn't affect me"... you're already paying for it. If you are paying taxes you are already $118,000 in the hole."

"That Barack Hussein Obama has spent more money than any of the 43 prior Presidents; he is limiting all of our financial security, all of our freedoms, and all of our liberties."

She also asks, "When it comes to national security, how much is this debt going to inhibit our ability to defend ourselves?"

 Barth isn't the only one afraid of the ramifications of the debt on our capability to keep America safe. Hillary Clinton, when appearing before congressional panels in Feb 2010 to discuss the State Departments budget request for 2011, said, "We have to address this deficit and the debt of the United States as a matter of national security not only as a matter of economics."

 Barth says, "This amount of debt should really blow anyone's hair back, young or old." And she certainly is not comfortable with the numbers that are continually climbing on the debt clock.

 "I feel cheated, helpless in a sense," she says.  No matter how helpless she feels she refuses to let the government get away with obscene spending anymore.

 "I certainly did not expect to be in this fight," says Barth who is currently running for 70th Assembly District's Republican Central Committee of Orange County, CA.  Yet, she is fighting, and luckily she is not alone.

 Charles Daniel, a 28-year-old Law Student, agrees with Barth's reasoning for joining the tea party.

  "I want to leave this country, this planet, in a better place than it was when I got here," says Daniel. His fear, that the massive debt accumulating will leave the future in a deep economic crisis, is unfortunately becoming a reality.

 "It's my generation that's going to have to man up and take care of business," says Daniel. 

 For the government to begin combating the current debt, Barth says, "The first thing that you do, that anybody does if they've got a problem with debt, is that they stop spending and they find ways to save."
