The US Economy a Ticking Bomb

Every American citizen should be aware of the US Debt Clock that records the obscene national debt. Millions of dollars are added to our national debt on a daily basis. Truly, our generation is passing on a debt to following generations. Sadly, most of the spending at the Federal level is appropriated without any concern as to the Constitutional authority for these appropriations.
The Center for Fiscal Accountability and the Americans for Tax Reform have calculated that the American worker slaves an average of 224 days to fund government at all levels. Those in Sarah Palin's Alaska work for the government only 192 days (lowest in the nation) while those in Gov. Corzine's New Jersey work 249 days for the government each year. You can review this report at the Fiscal Accountability website.Of the average 224 days, 111 days are spent working to pay for federal spending, 49 days for state spending, and 65 days for regulations at all levels.
The TARP bailout plan added 18 days yearly to the calculation.
Government spending is out-of-control. Americans must rally to stop additional levels of government, such as the Obama Health Care Plan and the foolish Cap and Trade legislation. Unless we act quickly and decisively, we will soon resemble the socialist democracies of Eastern Europe.
