LETTER: Obama’s spending decried
New Castle News
Editor, The News:
Well, let’s see. The Obama administration has taken over control of the banks.
We may soon see the Obamamobile on our highways and GE (in bed with this administration) will soon be producing windmills for energy, which will, supposedly, save energy costs while costing each American family an additional $3,500.
Does any of this make sense as our national debt continues to climb like never before?
President Obama is an expert with words. He definitely has a special gift as he reads off the TelePrompTer. But what are his actions after his words?
Usually, there is no similarity between what he says and what he does. Didn’t he just say recently that we are “out of money” but he continues to spend this country into bankruptcy. Does that make sense?
Now, he wants the government to run a national health care system, which will cost the taxpayers more than $3 trillion.
Can the government run anything efficiently and economically and provide quality service in the process? Just look at the U.S. Postal system for an example.
For every dollar the U.S. government takes in from taxes, only 71 cents goes back out to the people for services. Conversely, for every dollar spent on privately run health care expenses, the consumer realizes $1.10 in actual health care benefits. Which health care plan better serves the American people?
The silent majority has been silent too long. It is time to put a stop to this socialistic government control and return this country to the constitutional tenants originally written down by our founding fathers.
