WHY ARE WE BANKRUPT?
Informative, and mind boggling!
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:Boy, was I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.
I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.
Are we THAT stupid? YES, FOR LETTING THOSE IN THE U.S. CONGRESS GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS HAPPEN YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!!
If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the United States .
Not to mention they don't spend the money they make here, they send it to there countries, Bet you Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc, etc's economy's is doing well.
ReplyDeleteYou think I been screaming about this and the jobs they steal for years for nothing. Get them out of here before they steal the stimulous money. Heres a question for you all. DO YOU THINK THAT THEIR BABIES BORN HERE SHOULD BE aMERICAN CITIZENS? My answer is hell no.
ReplyDeleteI've looked and looked, but can't find the part about how it's all obama's fault. I know it's in there somwhere...
ReplyDeleteThe Teleprompter president is meeting today with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus , immigration reform (AMNESTY) is a done deal folks, this country will be flooded with even more immigrants soon thanks to the new DHS and Obama.Anyone that voted for this fraud should feel ashamed.
ReplyDeleteAre we seriously still circulating this crap which has been proven to be grossly distorted and misrepresented?
ReplyDeleteAll the black tar herion they have brought into this country must be distorted to huh, no/cents.
ReplyDeleteI hate ILLEGALS!
ReplyDeleteI say, the gov advertise that amnesty be granted to all illegals. When they show up to get their papers, snatch them up and send them back. Ill be happier to spend 20 billion dollars for the transportation!
ReplyDeleteWho says we're bankrupt? By what definition??
ReplyDeleteSigns of economic recovery are afoot. We'll be out of this mess sooner than feared...
9:09 AM Signs of economic recovery are afoot. We'll be out of this mess sooner than feared...
ReplyDeleteHow do you figure that?
Doug, I'm sorry but which bullet point was that? I must have missed it.
ReplyDeleteOh thats right, you are trying to change the subject because you know what I say to be true.
Cents Im not trying to change anything, not my style. I believe the illegal imagrants are crushing the lower middle class work force. I also believe that the drugs being brought into this country by illegals across the mexican border is a "threat to the national security of this nation". If you break our nations laws to get here I do not belive that your children should automatically be American citizens. I am not against legal imagration, not at all. If you come here legally and swear alligance to this country and learn our language , more power to you. If you sneak in and wave your Mexican flag in our face then "GET THE HELL OUT AND TAKE YOUR KIDS WITH YOU". Anyone who belives that this problem is not costing this country deeply is in total DENIAL of reality. Republican or Democrat, makes no differance to me. Your an engineer or so you say, you have college and are not in the American lower middle class, if you were and you could name off companies that have went under because of this job theft I think you are smart enough to see that this is a real problem. Dont let you liberal ideals blind you to the truth, your smarter than that. At least I thought you were.
ReplyDeleteDoug, i agree with everything you said. I have seen this exact email many times before and I have responded to it with links and such...i just dont have time to find it all again. Emails like this do not put anything in context for you nor do they try to address any type of cause/effect/soultion relationship. They are written to evoke immediate negative rection which we all know isnt helpful to any meaningful problem solving.
ReplyDeleteImmigration is a huge problem, no doubt. If we just enforce the laws we have we would probably be OK.
BTW, I am not a professional engineer, I just work for some. And i consider myself lucky to be just barley in the lower-middle class.
As far as companies, yeah some have gone under but if the housing market were still strong, they would still be here and they would still be employing illegal aliens. We live in a capitalist, free-market society. Supply and demand. Where are all the Americans willing to do the grunt work? Too lazy I say.
Personally, I'd do any job to support my family. I will never take unemployment or welfare etc. but I will never judge someone who does.
I remember early on in the Presidential primaries there was quite a bit of talk about illegal immigration.
ReplyDeleteBut then it just disappeared from the radar.
They need to do something.
Another reason to vote EVERY member of Congress OUT of office when they come up for re-election!
What would Jesus do?
ReplyDeleteCouldnt care less what Jesus would do.
ReplyDeleteAmen 10:59.
ReplyDelete8:42am-Obama's fault (but not only his fault) because he was part of the do-nothing Congress sympathetic to the illegals in this country for the last 2 years, now it's his time to do something or get voted out.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, The CNN sources can't be viewed, but if this is mostly true,it's amazing how much money we waste on illegals, the war, and actually paying Senators to run for higher office or keep their seats-it's ridiculous how much we could save-ANYmouse
I believe Jesus died on the cross with 2 criminals by his side and they too died. Criminals, law-breakers do not deserve your pity. Illegals in this county deserve and want a better life, but at what cost? The law breakers and gang bangers need to go...dropped in the middle of Afghanistan, they can keep it real over there in my book-we can refuse to take them back like the Gitmo detainees-poetic justice. ANYmouse
ReplyDeleteThat is just insain!!! If you cant speak english and dont want to learn that you don't belong here. If you cant go thru the legal process of becoming an American than you don't belong here.. I don't understand how illegals can get welfare...I bet if they start asking for green cards before they start handing out American money and welfare we would save alot of money.
ReplyDeleteTwo Sentz..you say you wouldn't collect unemployment? are you sure about that...what if you were the only income and lost your job while the economy is the way it is right now...And you couldn't find a job...are you sure you wouldn't collect unemployment to feed and put/keep a roof over your families head? I know I would swallow my pride before I lost everything I had to support my family.
6:12 "That is just insain!!! If you cant speak english and dont want to learn that you don't belong here."
ReplyDeleteBye bye then... so long.
Tell it to that super dingbat Nancy Pelosi....what a waste of sperm and egg she was....
ReplyDeleteIt should also be mentioned ..CDC reports in regards to Infectious Diseases Illegals haven't been properly immunized presenting another mounting cost in financial and human suffering within America.
