$20 trillion!?

3 min read

To the editor:

Let me understand this. Seven years ago, when president Obama was a United States senator, campaigning for the presidency, he told America that the national debt of $5 trillion, incurred under the Bush administration, was outrageous and absolutely un-American. His pals Pelosi and Reed, along with other useless elected officials, the mainstream media, and an army of unsuspecting voters, all believed that this articulate United States senator, when he charged President Bush with being un-American … an accusation that should be cause for treasonous prosecution … they accepted his word and became part of the chorus that parroted the “un-American” charge.

Now, over the last seven years of the Obama debacle, the national deficit has grown to four times

greater then what the “un-American” Bush deficit reflected. So… where is the mainstream media now? What does Pelosi and Reed have to say about the STEALING of $20 trillion from our children and our children’s children? If a $5 trillion deficit is accepted as being “un-American” then, it seems to me that, a $20 trillion deficit can ONLY be considered TREASON! And, the big question is WHY?

Why hasn’t Mr. Obama been taken to task for, what he called un-America and made to answer for placing America in financial peril. Some might say that “stealing” is a harsh characterization … I don’t think so! Factually, there’s only five ways that anyone can acquire money. They can earn it, they can win it, they can inherit it, they can steal it or they can borrow it (borrowing means that there is a recorded plan for the pay-back.) And, in this sickening case … there’s no intention to pay it back … the intention is to continue to dig this financially un-American hole … and then leave office saddling the next administration with the unholy and immoral obligation.

Shame on Mr. Obama. Shame on Pelosi, Reed, the mainstream media and any other elected official that hasn’t called for Obama’s indictment.

This is absolutely intentional deception, robbery and treacherous behavior! Thanks to these people, America is headed towards an economic cliff and there should be consequences for those responsible.

The mainstream media, if it values the salvation of America, needs to forget political correctness, forget their love for liberalism, forget the practice of defending the indefensible and begin focusing on truth, morality, civility and the principles that served to make America the greatest nation on earth. This is the ONLY hope for our beloved country!

You’re not American unless you embrace the values that have made us the envy of the world!
