How Washington Has Gotten America Into Record Levels Of
Debt And Financial Distress
First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama swept
to office in 2008 on a mantra of "change"
Throughout time there have been heads of state that
adopted personal projects and wrecked taxpayer funds to accomplish initiative
that in the final analysis didn't amount to anything. As a general rule, there
should be a law that states, heads of state are only allowed to spend a certain
amount of taxpayer money on endeavors in office.
To give any politician anywhere in the world a blank check is a
terrible idea. It is begging for trouble. When special interests, lobbyists,
corporate criminals and friends seeking favors creep in, a nation's bottom line
can be terribly affected, even to the point of financial destruction, when an
economically unsavvy politician takes office.

Washington is a prime example of why this rule should be enacted
to protect the populace and public funds. Most of us want to "change" the world,
but within reason. However, it seems reason has been indefinitely suspended in
Washington in favor of counterproductive "change."
The question is when shall the clock stop running on this unruly
breed of destructive spending that is producing enough debt for 10 nations
combined. The secondary question America needs to ask is who will call time on
it. Pardon the pun, but it truly is time for a "change" as this financial crisis
is going to regrettably lead to great social discord if not remedied.
