Standing watch

I got this in email with text saying it is a real photo, not a photo shop. It is such a potent image. At first blush, the eagle sitting on a gravestone in a military cemetery moved me with pride and a gritty commitment to be the best citizen I can be.
Then the mist and bare trees made me think of our country’s dire economy and I began to see the eagle in a cemetery as a sad symbol of the possible death of our founders’ grand dream.
Then I remembered that time of tremendous pride in our exceptional nation when we all heard, “The Eagle has landed.” And I was filled with hope that the sun will again rise on our nation and the eagle will soar once more.
It really is up to us. At the close of the Constitutional Convention, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government the Constitution was bringing into existence.
Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

OBAMA BACKS BILL TO REPEAL DOMA
Democrat CEO says it’s Obama’s fault

There are two ways to reduce a deficit so you can pay down your debt.
- Increase income.
- Decrease spending.
As to the first, Democrats would like us to believe that increasing taxes is the same as increasing income, but that’s just not true.
The national income is the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Increasing taxes does nothing to increase the GDP. It just diverts a larger portion of that money away from the private sector.
If anything, increasing taxes reduces the GDP, because it sucks money away from investors who otherwise would use it to create new businesses and new jobs.
The way to increase income in this country is to stimulate business growth. According to Wynn, a successful CEO and registered Democrat, that is never going to happen with Obama in charge.
As to the second, there is abundant evidence that Democrats are responsible for the vast majority of the frivolous spending … not that Republican politicians haven’t been very helpful in the past when it came to using the public trough for their own benefit.
It’s just that, by comparison, the data forces me to conclude they’re rank amateurs at wasting the public dollar compared to Democrats … especially the particular group of Democrats currently in power.
So here’s my prescription for the economy.
- Vote Obama and all the rest of the tax-and-spend Democrats out of office.
- Vote Obama and all the rest of the tax-and-spend Democrats out of office.

The U.S. Debt Juggernaut
By Chrissy the Hyphenated
Click graphics to embiggen for easier reading.
I find the “as percent of GDP” a lot easier to understand than those ginormous billions and trillions, KWIM? “We made more than we spent” is something my tiny little mind can wrap itself around.
Besides, it doesn’t involve trying to make sense of the differences between 1900 dollars and 2000 dollars. As far as anybody’s spending plan goes, it doesn’t matter what the total numbers are. What matters is if the income minus the outgo is a positive or a negative number.
Fact One: We owe more than we make in a year.
Chrissy’s Site Bites: http://news.webshots.com/photo/2719842180056011884mXvNLl
Fact Two: We are NEVER going to get out of debt if we don’t STOP spending more than we make.
