The debts reached $16 trillion this week

The debts hit $16 trillion this week.
 In his Labor Day speech, Rep. Paul Ryan addressed to East Carolina University in Greenville, NC.  He asked the audience: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?"

He said, the  average family incomes dropped by $4,000 the last four years. 

“The Jimmy Carter years look like the good old days compared to where we are right now,”

Good old days or what, the government debts hit $16 trillion this week.   Each year the taxpayers are paying $200 billion interests for the debts.

The debt ceiling?  Default?  Credit ratings?    Debts are bad.  They eat up all of the possiblities of
doing just anything both domestically and on the international fronts.

Rep. Paul Ryan will be stumping in Oregon and in the state of Washington this week.


-- Some questioning here in Illinois reveals something pretty obvious all through the years.  The racial disparity.  We might welcome that African American athlete to our office.  That Chicago man was polite enough not to explicitly expressed his opinions for the coming up election.  The 'Rocky' gentleman who insisted the elks needs mud bath to repel buts was a supporter of the President. 

-- When Obama does not control his own party, people hate him.  When Romney does not control his own party people do not like him.

-- Yesterday was #emptychairday.  There were a photo contest of empty chairs.

-- Now even in Illinois, I hear voices -- interestingly from male mostly -- not willing to vote for Obama.  "He has not fulfilled his promises" he said.  The woman next to him said "Yes he did".
