Say No to $17 trillion national debt

Will Someone Please Say "No"?

Over $ 17 1/2 TRILLION dollar national debt. Establishment, career politicians of both parties recently removed the limits on the debt ceiling.

Nearly $130 TRILLION dollars in unfunded liabilities. Budget busting Republicans and Democrats claim their brand of "common sense" can fix it.

Our government continues to spend about a TRILLION dollars more than existing revenue each year. Only a handful of Representatives and Senators are fighting against this out of control spending.

The only way out of this mess is to return to principles of fiscal sanity: CUT spending, REDUCE taxes and STOP government growth.
