Federal Debt Nears $16 Trillion
Federal debt nears $16 trillion, with no easy way to pay it down | Fox News
As it stands, the national debt keeps growing and growing with no end in sight. You can't trust any of our elected elite (Democrat or Republican) to make the Draconian cuts necessary to avoid sliding off the nation's fiscal cliff. When this headline was posted, the U.S. national debt was approaching $16 trillion. Today the total debt may have surpassed $16 trillion. As terrible as the debt is, the interest on the debt is killing us. Economic experts are saying we are almost the point we can't pay off the debt. We're almost to the point where we can't even pay the interest on the debt. It's not going to be a pretty sight when payday comes. We'll be enslaved to China when that day comes. They own some of our bad debt.

Boehner Mocks GOP Platform: ‘I’ve Not Met Ever Anybody’ Who Read It
Boehner Mocks GOP Platform: ‘I’ve Not Met Ever Anybody’ Who Read It (Video) | CNSNews.com
Then House Minority House Leader John Boehner (R-OH) unveils the 48-page "A Pledge to America" on September 23, 2010.
Have you had too much to drink, Mr. Speaker? You're very candid in mentioning you haven't read the party platform. Why say that right before the GOP convention? I understand that you favor a one-page platform and that's understandable, Mr. Speaker. But you don't help your cause saying you haven't read the party platform. Of course, it doesn't make any difference to you or your Republican cohorts what the platform says anyhow. You're not going to fight for what you claim your party believes in. You've shown that during the last two years since you became Speaker of the House. You only care about the issues when it comes to certain elections such as the one in 2010 which resulted in you becoming Speaker of the House. Once the election is over, who cares about the
issue. You want the issue but you don't want to solve the problem. That's descriptive of you and the current Republican leadership in the House. You need to be voted out in November.
You mentioned in Tampa that you believe that the party platform should be a one-page document. The truth is the "A Pledge to America" that you House Republicans unveiled in 2010 was 48-pages long. Regardless whether it's one page or more, you need to know what's in the platform. Otherwise, you're saying what's written on the platform isn't worth the cost of the ink to print it.

Biden Compares Republicans to 'Squealing Pigs'
Biden compares Republicans to 'squealing pigs' | Fox News
Vice President Joe Biden
Vice President Joe Biden is changing his tactics by claiming Republicans want to put people "back in chains" for some other new imagery. This time he likens GOP lawmakers to squealing pigs. He's making reference to them as squealing pigs over Republicans objection to financial regulations on Wall Street.
I find it somewhat interesting because Joe Biden himself ought to know what it means to be a squealing pig. The Democrats are masters in behaving like squealing pigs. They've perfected that game to a 'T." I can remember former Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) make the erroneous claim on the House floor in 2010 that Republicans want old people to die because the Republicans in Congress were opposed to the passage of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. I find it very hilarious. The Democrats have mastered that game.
