The road looks innocent enough. Encourage biofueld usage by giving money to companies, save children, free a Middle Eastern nation, things like that. All of these activities (plus millions more) cost the United States billions upon trillions of dollars, so much so that we are in debt to countries like China (what's in YOUR wallet?).
Not only is this country in debt, but the debt is getting higher. The only way to pay the interest on the debt is to raise taxes higher and higher. When's the last time the government admitted that one of its organizations (like the DEA) was a complete and utter failure, and offered to shut it down and refund some tax money with the proceeds from selling all of the assets. Try never.
We are going down the road to hell. Taxes increase, and increase. Right now a middle-income person gets robbed of over 35% of his or her income between federal income tax and FICA. This number will likely only get higher and higher. When will it stop? What if in 100 years America started taxing 95% of your money but you got free government food, a free government car, free government clothing, and all of this came with whether we worked or not.
What would we be then? Something we've tried to defeat many times, only to see it swallow us whole. So next time you hear a politician talk about giving children free healthcare, or giving idiots who took teaser mortgages a bailout, or winning the "war" on terror, just think about the road to hell

Absolutely right. I totally agree. We are in debt everytime the government gets involved in bogus projects and we also pay the price by paying higher taxes. Something needs to be done and you know who'll do it? Ron Paul. People who read this, please vote for Ron Paul and support his campaign. He's the better road to tomorrow.
France too is in trouble with a high debt as well. What will happen when the major powerhouses accumulate so much debt, we can't pay it?
