Day536 Thursday 02/16/12

Spending like this cannot last forever. I’d venture to say it couldn’t even last another five years. Yet, our president does not address the unacceptable state of our national debt. He keeps adding to it. The messages expressed in the videos above are a clear statement of how broken America’s compass is and how obvious it is that we are heading in the wrong direction.

What is the end game here? If I wanted to deliberately lose everything I have worked so hard for, let down my entire family, and abandon all sense of hope, I think the easiest way to do it would be to follow the template of living extraordinarily out of my means with absolutely no regard for the fact that the money I am wasting will eventually have to be paid back. This is what our government is doing, and should a government not lead by example?
