American Spirit, already the Fed. Govt. (a.k.a. known as the taxpayer) pays 400 billion dollars/year in interest on the public debt. So, with the debt skyrocketing and interest rates bound to go up as U.S. creditors discount for lending risk and total lack of any meaningful economic policy - do the math.

Hey, AS....you tell Kerry that the US Taxpayers Company needs to be instituted.... (you know ~~~~the folks who pay the salaries and the benefits for all those who go to Washington DC)... The US Taxpayers Company wants the SAME benefits available to all of us who pay taxes that are available for EACH person in the US Congress and Senate....Each of us can be in the same "coop" so to speak, as WE are the Company that pays the Congress's insurance premiums....we (each citizen) can pay our own premium, but we will have access to a large group rate, because the Congress is such a large group. Wonder if Kerry can get that through???? Some people want something for nothing. That has been the problem all the way along. When in 1996 and 2000, the previous Administration wanted to have over 1,000,000 immigrants come in to the US (dahhhhhhhhh...wonder if it could be for getting votes.......suppose????) Normally, the number of legal immigrants to come to the US each year is 500,000. The numbers of ILLEGAL immigrants who come in each year are unknown, but best estimates seem to be about 4 times that amount!!!! BUT biggest numbers, signed by Presidential Orders, are the numbers of refugees that come in to the US every year. Best estimates are 8 (EIGHT) times the number of legal immigrants every year.....(Look it up....you will see) These refugees are IMMEDIATELY able to qualify for EVERY government service we have, including food stamps, medical assistance, etc etc etc. WHO PAYS FOR ALL OF THIS???? We have WW2 people who worked to support this country all their lives, and who can't qualify for any of the above. Doesn't that seem wrong to you? The Democrats have believed in TAX and SPEND, TAX and SPEND for YEARS and YEARS!!!
