finance our Government's reckless

onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt
problem and a failure of
leadership. Americans deserve better.

It's time for a reillumination.
Somebody up there in the White House needs to act presidential and grab
the reins.
Yes, but Bernanke didn't pull his strings.

The reality is US DC government is kissing the banks ass. Perhaps
congress should fire Bernanke.
There is a reason why Bernake is being real quiet, he pulls all the
strings on Obama and the democrats.

Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted
behavior in USA. Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution.
