No More

Fantasy Land

Well folks, election day is coming, and those politician’s will be looking for your vote. It’s funny that right before Election Day those politicians put on a show with those grand openings like parks, new schools, etc. You know Christmas came early. Many New Jersey voters have seen too many broken promises over the years it became a soap opera “As Your Stomach Turns,” and many left with joy. So, what’s left for New Jersey? “Blue Trails of Sorrow?” And are we tired of those lifetime career politicians with the same old song and empty promises? You decide – it’s your vote. Yes, go out and vote! They can be replaced.

The World’s

Super Debtor

President Biden and Congress raising our national debt ceiling by $480 billion more is nothing to be proud of. Both continue to ignore our national debt, which is will now exceed $29 trillion by December 2021.  This averages $86,710 per citizen or $228,999 per taxpayer. (Source: October 10 National Debt Clock). Our legal debt limit will officially run out in early December, due to our excessive current rate of spending. This doesn’t include the $1.2 trillion proposed Infrastructure or $3.5 trillion Build Back America package.  

There are thousands of employees who are familiar with the details of our federal budget. How difficult can it be to find billions in savings? This could assist in reducing our frequent raising of the debt ceiling.

Millions of Americans cut their household budgets to make ends meet.  It is time for Washington to live within its available existing revenues without excessive borrowing, just like millions of ordinary citizens.

The President and Congress have forgotten the old saying – a penny saved is a penny earned.  Americans should send both a penny to remind them that it is not a sin to save. Unless we change our ways, America is on the road to losing our status as the world’s No. 1 superpower to China.  Just like mighty ancient Rome before the collapse, we are going down the path to become the world’s super debtor.

Sincerely,

Larry Penner
