The country is broke. The Left wants to keep spending. The Right is saying, "It has to stop now".

This entire epic struggle of the left vs right .......soft tyranny vs liberty....power of Govt vs. power of the individual......comes down to the sum of $3 Trillion dollars.. Currently, about 40% of GDP is gobbled up by federal/state/and local governments. Democrats, thru various means (elections/courts/edict/legislation/regulations/etc.), want the burden increased to 50% or more...... at which point the soft tyranny controlling our lives will be complete and irreversible. The Republicans, by the same means, want the burden decreased to 30% or less.......at which point the American dream will be restored. The difference (20% of GDP) amounts to about $3 Trillion dollars a year. Everyone has to ask themselves this one simple question. Which is better for our country?.........for that $3 Trillion to remain in the hands of the private sector and private individuals who worked for and earned it or for that $3 Trillion to be poured down the rat hole of government....... never to be seen or heard from again?
