America is Bankrupt

My brothers are such big Mitt Romney fans that they drove to Iowa to help get out the vote. I like Romney and even made a substantial donation to his campaign, but these days I’m a Ron Paul man, through and through.

I’ve actually been meaning to post about why I support Ron Paul for a long time, but who has time for that long of a blog post? Luckily, Chris Knudsen posted a series of videos that sum up the main reason I support the Ron Paul campaign. In them Glenn Beck interviews Ron Paul and US Comptroller General David Walker about how the United States government is basically bankrupt after mortgaging our future to pay for unnecessary programs. Basically, the money is gone, but the US government keeps spending like it’s going out of style –and nobody is acknowledging that the crap has to hit the fan sometime.

Anyway, please watch the videos. You will be amazed (disgusted) at the extent to which our government has sold us out.

Here are some other excellent posts Chris has on the subject:

• Fiscal Cancer
• David Walker is my Hero
• More from David Walker
• US Government Fails its Financial Audit for 11th Strait Year
• Subprime Nation

And finally, a brilliant quote from David Walker:

“We are mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren at record rates, and that is not only an issue of fiscal irresponsibility – it’s an issue of immorality.”

It seems to me that Ron Paul gets this more than any other candidate, and that’s the main reason he has my vote.
