We all know that if our government doesn't fix things with a quickness it could spell the end of this country as we know it. With the national debt hovering at around fourteen trillion dollars; and the democrats want to spend more to do a so called fix.
We as the people are calling them out, the question that I have is simply this, do the people even matter to them any more? Things need to change in a big way if we plan to fix this problem. The era of big spending, and huge debt is over.
We must reign in the idea of spending to get the country out of debt. The threat of China downgrading our dollar's status as the world currency is looming as we speak. But I wonder is this just rhetoric and hype to get the government off it's dead ass.
China has as much to lose as we do in this, if they downgrade us, they will immediately lose all of the money that they have loaned to us as the dollar will be rendered worthless. Not to mention Russia, and Japan and the dollars that they are holding.
I am no financial guru; but it seems to me that they are not in this thing to lose money, and the trade status between them, and the United States. Just think the Japanese would no longer be selling their cars in this country, and China exports most of it's goods directly to the United States.
This would all come to an end as the economy in our country would come to a grinding halt. There would be no more exporting, or importing of any good to or from this country. In a dead economy nothing is moving, unless you consider a downward trend being a good move.
I don't really consider the threat of a downgrade of our credit status being a huge deal at this time. With this comes the democrats wanting to raise the debt sealing. This is a direct response to the thought that the countries who are holding our debt will downgrade our credit status.
The debt ceiling is quite simply a cap on how many bonds that the government can sell to off set it's huge debt. It's mostly used for political posturing, as nobody wants to take responsibility for the problems that monkeying with it could cause.
But when the situation with debt gets to the point where it's at in this country, the government is pushed to do something about it. When they start running out of options; they will begin talking about raising the debt ceiling, for now that is what it is, only talk.
But as inflation begins to take over, and the people are pushing the government to fix the huge screw up that it has made, it could become a necessary evil. We all know how much the government like to take responsibility for what it has done.
The best thing that they could do is begin to rebuild the country, not in their grand vision, but in the vision of our founding fathers. Rebuild the industry, pull all of the outsourced work back in to our country, and secure the borders to keep this country moving forward.
The truth is that I am no politician, I am not a banker, or a financial guru. I'm just an American citizen who is very concerned about the direction our country is heading in. It's time to reduce that size and scope of our government, and bring the power back to the people.

A Legal US Citizen
The US Dollar Is The International Reserve Currency Right Now
Right now the US Dollar in the world reserve currency, what this means is that it is excepted in almost every country as a form of payment.
But this could change if our Federal Reserve doesn't decide to change it's policy on printing money.
If the other countries in the world decide to change to the Japanese Yen, or the Chinese Renminbi; it would have a devastating affect on our economy.
If you think that the recent recession has affected your life in a bad way, wait until the dollar get's downgraded.
I know you think that this is the United States, and that kind of thing doesn't happen here. It's easy to think that when the dollar has been the world tender for over 50 years now. It hard to imagine that it could all change over night.
If this happens there will be some huge events taking place as a result of it. The first thing that will directly affect you life is hyperinflation.
Right now average price of gas is about $2.80 per gallon, imaging that going up to $8.00 or $10.00 per gallon.
At that rate even your little ECO car doesn't seem that cool, but think about the consequences that are a direct result of the gas prices raising.
First of all the normal means of delivering food will jack the rates to get the commodities to o you.
This means that the prices of food and water hit a high point that none of us can afford. But consider this; as the prices of gas rise even higher the freight companies will start to go out of business, or just quit delivering the commodities to the stores when they can no longer afford to pay them.
To solve this problem that government will simply print more money, and deflate that value of the dollar even more. Then comes the lay offs, downsizing, and firing that will follow these events.
As this begins to get worse that will be rioting in the streets, do you think that the country of Greece thought that there would be people rioting in the streets?
I'm sure that those people never thought it would go as far as t it has.
The things that have happened over there will look like small potatoes when this country go's down. I like every other American never though that these things could happen in this country.
But I know better now. Now is the time to start thinking about the possibility of this happening here, and to you and your family.
There are already cities within cities, these cities are composed of tents, boxes, plastic, and anything that people can stay out of the weather with.
That sounds mighty American; and not a bit like a 3rd world country doesn't it? This is not what our country is supposed to be.
But it is what happens when a government digs itself a hole that it can't climb out of, a hole that could bankrupt this country.
The government continues to bail out, prop up and help companies like Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. We just couldn't let them fix there own problems could we boys.
To this I say, stop printing, bailing out, propping up and blowing this countries resources on nonsense. Stop wit the anti-business policies from the White house.
Stop trying to expand the size and scope of government, give control back to the people. It's time to get off of your high horse, or pay the cast president Idiot Ovama.
It's time to kick the socialist agenda to the curb, it's time to be Americans or get out of office. It's time to return to the constitution of this country to govern from.

10 Things That I Can Do To Help Save My Country
I had a search on the term 10 things that I can do to help save my country. This is only one man's opinion that you will read in this article, hopefully it will help some people with this question.
When you think abut it, things are so screwed up, that it's hard to limit the list to 10 things.
When you think abut it, things are so screwed up, that it's hard to limit the list to 10 things.
I will try my hardest to limit this list to 10 ideas to help save our country.
In the beginning the people followed a strict set of rules for the government in this country called the constitution. That has almost become a thing of the past.
In the beginning the people followed a strict set of rules for the government in this country called the constitution. That has almost become a thing of the past.
- Limit the size and scope of government, do not allow it to grow any more, and no more tax increases on anybody.
- Force your local government to control spending, and the Federal government to bring the national debt under control.
- Do not allow the Feds to create any more entitlements, these expand government and give them more control over the people.
- Do all you can to crush Obamacare in this country.
- Keep your eye on the new congress, make sure that they only do what the people want them to do.
- Use competition to control health insurance rates, allow shopping across state lines, this will force the rates to go down.
- Help to control litigation against the health care industry, stop the lobbyists from getting what they want.
- Tell your local law makers to enact laws against lobbying in your state.
- Help control illegal immigration by telling your law makers to batten down the hatches on all borders of this country, if they don't oust them.
- Buy American goods and services to keep the flow of money in our country.
It's hard to stop there because I can think of a huge list of simple things that will help our country to become a strong and thriving enterprise again. These things are just common sense tips that any of us can do to help our country out of these hard times.
It doesn't take a genius to realize that if we keep letting congress do as they please, they will never do as we want them to. Believe me they want to spend as much money as they can, they truly believe that they can spend themselves out of debt.
Sad enough to say, they think that the American people are idiots. If we keep proving that to be true they will continue down this path of destruction that they are currently on.
If you ride a horse with no reigns it will go out out control, and that is what has happened here.
If you ride a horse with no reigns it will go out out control, and that is what has happened here.
The people in this country hold the reigns on the government, and every once in a while we need to yank those reigns and let them know who is in control of this country.
This brings my list of 10 things that I can to to save my country to an end, I hope it helps some of you.
