God, please help the 53 percent who pay all of the taxes to see the light.

President Obama continues to lie to the American people and is believed. He tells us the economy is improving, thanks to him. Social Security revenues are down this year almost 10 percent, so incomes are too. That’s not improvement. He tells us that Paul Ryan and his plan are radical because they will starve seniors. The plan excludes seniors from cuts, while Obama’s “plans” cut Medicare significantly. He tells us he wants to solve the deficit problem, yet he refuses to cut spending. He wants to renege on his deal for not raising taxes on those making over $250,000 that he keeps bragging about accomplishing in December.

This should be the last straw. If he taxed those making over $250,000 at 100 percent (for the liberals with no math skills, that means all of their income), it would not cover the deficit. Obviously, spending has to be cut! S&P, despite Obama’s efforts to stop them, told the country that the future for our credit rating isn’t very bright. Has that stopped them from wanting to spend more to “stimulate” business? Of course not! They just demonize conservatives.

When Bush was president, Obama said that it was irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling. Harry Reid and others agreed. Now they are all saying that our economy will collapse if we don’t. Didn’t S&P just say it would collapse if we kept on spending like we have been? Why do we have a debt ceiling if we keep raising it? It is like pouring the water from a pot boiling over into a bigger one, but keeping the heat turned up. It’ll boil over again, unless you reduce the heat or the spending.
