National Debt

I heard something I suspected was going on in the government yesterday on Point of View and it disturbed me and I have been thinking about it.

Here's what I found out:
The government spends $10 billion each day ($4 billion of which is borrowed every day). That means the government adds billions to the national debt each day.
Obama's plan plans to cut/save $2 billion per year.
Beiner's plan would cut/save $7 billion per year.

Unfortunately, he didn't mention his source, but I'm not the least bit surprised at those staggering figures.

Both of those figures the tabled plans propose saving are less than what they're spending per day (one is less than what we're adding to the national debt each day) and yet President Obama is saying that he'll veto anything that comes across his desk (anything but his own rotten plan, of course). And his own plan would force us into a deeper, darker recession than what we're already in and make jobs even harder to come by since he's sticking it to the business owners.

What's wrong with these people? I don't understand that kind of irresponsibility. I mean, if they ran their businesses like they do the government, they'd be picked up for that shady accounting. If they ran their personal finances that way, they'd be bankrupt and starving. I mean, really! Do they think our creditors will never call in these debts? We're so indebted to China that if they decided they wanted to purchase America, who's to stop them? Who's to stop them from making America a communist/socialist nation? They've been purchasing land, buildings, and stealing jobs here in the continental US for years. They underbid every US construction bidder for big jobs like building those bridges up north - they imported their own workers - paid them $11/day and worked them from sun up to 11pm each day. That's the way Americans are about to have to start working yet again. Working all day for one meal.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
