The Real Reason our country is failing

What is bankrupting us.


You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:

Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be
RIDICULOUS.

Good points. Been saying that for years. Welfare in this country trumps the war by a 5 to 1 margin. Few too many contributors, far too many takers.

[boatme]

My wife is OB nurse and you should hear the stories about all the gotta do for me group

Three areas our government should be looking at to save money

1) All asistance programs

2) Leagle reform (non of this sue you happy public)

3) Govenment reduction and cost containment

[clayinaustin]

2) Leagle refoorm (non of this sue you happy public)

WTF is that?

[Davidmnc]

WOW.......never knew it was that much. Should we bail out Mexico?

[phragle]

It is worse than that, 1st hand experience, not internet information. As many know I was a FireFighter when I lived in so. cal. My fire district was ended along 20 miles of the US Mexican border. I can not fully explain the shear volume of illegals comming across. The border patrol has a trick, they call for fire/ems EVERY time an illegal scrapes their knee, gets dehydrated etc. we have to respond, the illegal has to be transported to the hospital. What the border patrol does not to is place the illegal in custody as this would require an officer to accompany them to the hospital and more importantly, would require the BP to pay the bill. As a direct result the fire dept and the hospital EAT the bill. But wait, like a bad infomercial THERE'S MORE. The illegals know this. they get to the hospital and walk out to their waiting ride after recieving free medical care. The cost of these services are so great, the fire dept. I used to work for went under because it could not survive the financial strain. Now an entire community is without fire/ems service, relying on the county to provide and the closest county fire station is 17 milesaway.

We don't need to bail our Mexico.........We need to INVADE Mexico!! atriot:

[tommymonza]

The best thing that happened aroung here is the construction trade going in the toilet.Downtown Bonita Springs was like a little Mexican city before the boom and turned into a small country during it with all the illegals.
They all fled now that work has dryed up.
Starting to see a lot of white boys getting into the lawn business to that were in construction before.

[KENNYO]

Haven't you ever "accidentally" back over a injured Mexican before?? A fire truck would definitely do the job!

[Sea-Dated]

Working in the healthcare field I can say that illegals are the biggest drain on a hospits/fire/EMS there is. There is way too many of them and none of them pay their bills.

That is why you have to wait 12 hours when you go to the ER, you have to wait for ll the illegals to get checked out for their sniffles and colds.

[phragle]

nopre, but I have had the border patrol run over one of my firehydrants, and I have been hung from helicopter long line to get to an officer who took a fall.

[TSPM]

SHOCKING stats ........ I new it was bad but NOT THAT BAD.

How can this be controlled especially now that OBAMA is in office......Will it continue or will he stop the bleading?

[Edward R. Cozzi]

How about the grossly overpaid and under-producing executives of our top corporations?

I agree but it pales in comparison to the givaways by the govenment

Jefferson in some cases could be called a prophet.



When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson



The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson



It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson





I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson





My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson



No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson



The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson



The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson



To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson




Very Interesting Quote


In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

Attachment 9444

[phragle]

those and other qoutes from our founding fathers, is there really any question to the meaning of the 2nd amendment when one understands the thought processes of the very people that wrote our constitution and picked up arms to fight the government of the time, suceeding from England and forming a new country.

I’m not sure, but it may be tacky to quote your self………even if you are right.

[jmoore32fever]

not only to mention the hospitals but the u.s courts, loved waiting the couple times i've been for prolly 75% of the people in there being illegals that can't speak english, dont show or do and of them that do show all getting court appointed lawyers that we all pay for with our tax dollars, also not mentioned all the damn accidents they cause n don't have a drivers license nor insurance, i'm sick of seein mexican flags as well if they love the damn country so much stay in it!!!!

[RLJ676]

Wow, those stats are staggering, and I had seen them before but it still drops your jaw.

And to think of the resistance by the taxpayers (many on this board) to a LOAN of $14 B to keep going the biggest (only) mfg industry in this country, a loan that is 1/4 as costly at minimum of failure. All because it's "their" tax money, ha. I guess they voted for every single thing "their" taxes do.
