OT: Nervous, I have discovered that there are THREE (3) subjects that have never been discussed abstractivly. Religion, Sex, and Politics. No one seems to get enough Sex. The religion that is being discussed is the only true faith(there is currently over 5,800 different religions), because that's what the speaker believes. And as for politics, the politician says and does whatever is needed to be elected. As proven with Physics; for every action, there is an equal and Opposite re-action.

One of the statements stated by Tyler was; Once the masses learn that by promising to vote for the candidate, they will get something for free, they will NEVER get enough, until the CURRENCY of the land is destroyed by the masses wanting more FREE stuff and that nation PRINTING the currency to obtain it.

How much is our dollar worth today?

Once a rep always a Rep!
One has only to look at all the party's stances over history to see the revolving philosophy. Talk about flip flopping.

Saddling Posterity with Debt
"We believe--or we act as if we believed--that although an individual father cannot alienate the labor of his son, the aggregate body of fathers may alienate the labor of all their sons, of their posterity, in the aggregate, and oblige them to pay for all the enterprises, just or unjust, profitable or ruinous, into which our vices, our passions or our personal interests may lead us. But I trust that this proposition needs only to be looked at by an American to be seen in its true point of view, and that we shall all consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts, and morally bound to pay them ourselves; and consequently within what may be deemed the period of a generation, or the life of the majority." --Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813. ME 13:357

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." --Thomas Jefferson to A. L. C. Destutt de Tracy, 1820. FE 10:175

"Ought not then the right of each successive generation to be guaranteed against the dissipations and corruptions of those preceding, by a fundamental provision in our Constitution? And if that has not been made, does it exist the less, there being between generation and generation as between nation and nation no other law than that of nature? And is it the less dishonest to do what is wrong because not expressly prohibited by written law? Let us hope our moral principles are not yet in that stage of degeneracy, and that in instituting the system of finance to be hereafter pursued we shall adopt the only safe, the only lawful and honest one, of borrowing on such short terms of reimbursement of interest and principal as will fall within the accomplishment of our own lives." --Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813. ME 13:360

The projections of what it will take to fund Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are in the trillions. Our government can't even sustain those 3 programs. We have serious challenges facing this country and neither political party will address them.
