In the last four years President Obama, the Democrats and the Republicans have spent so much money the debt that each family owes has been increased by $33,832.64.

Congress recently passed the budget the country will live by for the next two years. As in the past, the Democrats and the Republicans have agreed to pile another huge debt on each of us by borrowing money every day.

They disclosed no plan to ever balance the federal budget. They also took $150 billion from Social Security and transferred it to disability spending.

No serious person would say that increasing debt every year is a policy the nation can live by. Yet both the Democrats and the Republicans have voted to increase debt on all of us every day for the next two years.

The only power we have is to vote out of office all our representatives in Congress. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans understand that our children and grandchildren will pay a heavy price of high taxes and low opportunity as a result of their drunken spending.

If we voters do not change our representatives, we will be responsible as the generation that left our nation weak and our children deep in debt.
