Understanding Our National Debt

via Bryan-College Station Tea Party — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:20:05 +0000

Debt gains control exponentially by consuming future earnings. A future denied discretionary cash after expenses is devoid of savings or investments. While Popeye’s Wimpy was always willing to pay you on Thursday for borrowed money for a hamburger today, a national debt approaching $20 Trillion forces those repayment Thursdays so far into the future that [...]

ObamaCare® is Slavery

via Bryan-College Station Tea Party — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:20:05 +0000

Certainly it means that, if it means anything; and when any[one] undertakes to decide for any man when he shall work, where he shall work, at [...]
