As Conservatives, we constantly ask, how can we continue to spend money that we don't have? We know the limits of our family income and we know that over spending equals increased debt which does nothing but make us poorer.
But in Washington, the excessive spending continues without much change. Sure, we have the sequester, but we still are sending aid to most countries of the world. We still subsidize green energy companies, and we continue to grow the Federal payroll. The sequester really was only a bump in the spending road.
Here's the secret. If our household, our school system, our county or our state had printing presses, we could spend like drunken sailors. What would you do with a government printing press in your garage? The possibilities are endless. That is until someone wised up and said, "Hey, that money is as worthless as Monopoly money" then the ride would end.
Well, eventually, the world will wise up to the Fed's printing presses and our money will no longer be the reserve currency of the world and we will no longer be in the driver's seat. In addition, we will see inflation, where it could take 100 of those phony dollars to get a gallon of gas. And wages won't begin to keep up.
You think things are rough now? They aren't done with us yet.
