Our Obese Federal Govt. Needs to Go on a Strict Diet
Written by Sam Blumenfeld for the New American

The author makes some very valid points about the history of how America went from a country of independent citizens to one with a large percentage of people who are now incapable of doing for themselves. America has trained many of it's children to rely on government handouts, teaching them to play the system.

The total worth of all American billionaires is $1.3 trillion. So if the government confiscated the total worth of all these billionaires it would not even pay for half of Obama’s budget. In addition, we have a national debt of $14.3 trillion. To keep the government as fat as possible, it has had to borrow trillions of dollars.

To reign in this massive excess, we need to reduce the scope and authority of the government. It needs to be limited in what it provides the citizens, allowing the People to regain strength and independence.

Our government in Washington needs to be put on a strict weight loss program that will reduce its size. We can no longer afford to support this humongous fat slob that the Democrats want to make fatter. It’s time to put the federal government on a strict diet that will reduce its size and bring down its weight to a level commensurate with what is needed.
