Our fat cat politicrats laugh at the ease of their enrichment as we allow them to dictate our economic ruin!

By John Sykes

These two graphs speak two obvious and simple truths.

Since the 1960s this country has run amok with entitlement slavery. Our government now spends four times as much on entitlements and half as much on defense.

In the same period, since the 1960s, revenue has pretty much stayed the same while spending now is skyrocketing. Our politicians of both ilks use that rise in entitlement spending to buy votes while risking our national defense which is their primary charge under the Constitution. All we really need to do is look at that 18% revenue line to know the basis for a bill that would dictate a budget of no more than 16% with the 2% to pay off old debt.

The two truths are obvious. Either our politicians can’t or won’t read simple graphs, deliberately kicking us down the road to ruin as they feather their elitist but corrupt nests.
