Debt in the Quintillions Coming Soon
Without a single Republican vote, Democrats in the House of Representatives quickly passed an “economic stimulus” bill on January 28th. With interest, the cost will be well over a trillion dollars. That’s 12 zeros folks. The country of Zimbabwe is proposing knocking 12 zeros off their currency. Just last August, the central bank of Zimbabwe removed 10 zeros from their printed money. Some business transactions there are now conducted in quintillions (18 zeros). Get ready folks; that is what you voted for. Quintillions might soon be a familiar word in Congress.
How would you like to go to bed one night with a trillion dollars in savings and get up the next morning with one dollar? That is the direction we are headed with this wild spending of our tax money. The Senate is now adding to the cost of the “American Recovery Act” with their proposals.
Without concern for the billions in spending our tax money for unnecessary and wasteful projects, one section of this Act prohibits the use of these funds for: “modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities” used for “modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities: used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity, or in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission, or construction of new facilities.”
While politicians go to great length to appease non-Christians, where is the Christian’s Constitutional right to use public facilities regardless of their religious views? We all know that spending tax money on buildings, which Christians might use for decent purposes or to help people, might offend someone who is not a Christian.
Here are a just a few of the stimulating things which was approved by House Democrats:
(1) $200 million for abortion clinics.
(2) $4.5 million for a Florida “Eco Park.”
(3) $3 million for a public Golf Club House in Lincoln, Nebraska
(4) $2 million for more lights in Sin-city, Nevada
(5) $1.8 million for tennis courts in Virginia Beach.
There are 18,700 “projects” in this bill, so I will not list them all. How many of those who voted for this law, which includes our 5th District do you think actually read the entire bill?
Do you think supporters might suspect that this law might stagnate rather than stimulate the economy in our country?
