Barack Obama won re-election, and America lost its future. Many would call that statement a sign of sour grapes the words of a poor loser. Yet, it is neither. It is the simple conclusion for anyone who has a calculator and has done the math. The national debt for the United States is 16 trillion dollars. That’s 101% of the Gross National Product. It would be like someone making $50,000 a year owing $5,000,000 dollars. Now that Obama has been reelected, the country is projected to reach 20 trillion in debt by the time he is out of office. The only thing that could change that path is if the President were willing to cut the spending spree, something he has shown he does not want to do.

Our debt is unsustainable at its current level. Now that we are guaranteed to have Obamacare written in stone and the two to three trillion dollars it will cost, by 2016 the country will be on a path that cannot be altered: insolvency. It is simple math. It has nothing to do with being a Republican or Democrat. Issues of racism or classicism makes no difference. It is zero’s and one’s. The income either adds up or it does not.

Greece is learning this lesson now. They spent too much on social programs, guaranteed state and country wide union wages, infrastructure built to provide “jobs” and higher taxes. The net result is a country that went running, hat in hand to the European countries for money to keep their country alive. The loans came with strings attached, as most loans do, and the string was a total restructuring of Greece’s spending. The result has been civil unrest, labor strikes, and riots. If you ask the rioters why they are doing these things, they will tell you because of the cuts to wages, and social programs. The very things that made them have to go begging for loans to stay afloat. It is like a person who buys the exotic sports car, and then gets mad at the person who comes to repossess the car, because they cannot make the car payment.

America is on that path, and has been for quite some time. Like the minor tremors that portent a large earthquake, little signs have been appearing: polls that show most people wanting those that make more than they to pay more in taxes, backlashes against any plan to slow down the spending and cost of medicare, men and women alike defending the idea that others have an obligation to pay for the birth control of women, support for fiscally dubious high speed rail projects across the country. Little by little, inch by inch, the mindset of the government spending the viewpoint of entitled thinking has been creeping into the psyche of the American populace.

Tonight’s election was the seismic event that was building. It signals that America has turned toward a social democracy like Europe. This has occurred not because of Barack Obama, but because people chose him. America’s populace chose tonight. They did not choose Romney because he was a bad candidate or ran a bad campaign. They chose Barack Obama, because they want the freebies, and they want someone else to pay for it. There are more people that embrace class warfare, than shun it. The days when President Kennedy said, “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” is dead and gone.

We want the healthcare, we want the free birth control; we want the government to take care of us. The only problem is we cannot afford to do it. We cannot do it at 16 trillion in debt, and moving to 20 trillion in debt will not make things better. More debt never does.

American lost tonight, make no mistake about it. America died tonight. What the country that now occupies its space on this planet ends as is pretty clear. We become Greece on steroids, and the collapse will be televised.

Strange things happened in Wisconsin this week. As you are aware of, because of the ridiculousness earlier this year, Wisconsin Democrats organized an astounding recall effort against six Republican state senators. On Tuesday, a group of Democrats were supposed to run against the Republican state senators, likely ousting them from their privileged positions.

However, the Republicans instead decided to stretch out the recalls by exploiting a little known provision in Wisconsin state law and forcing primaries. By forcing a primary election for the Democrats, the actual recall elections will not be held until August 9^th.

And that is not all. The Republicans then recruited “Democrats” to run against the true democrats in the primary.  Wow, they must be very scared. All of these so-called Democrats that the GOP recruited are actually, gasp, Republicans. These fake Democrats were only used to delay the recall elections. They are a collection of party officials and sacrificial lambs.

Three of them are over 80 years of age. One is twenty-five. None have raised any money. There was no dramatic upsets in the race. The real Democrats won handily. Five of the six winners had at least 65 percent of the vote, based on unofficial results. The sixth, Shelly Moore, had 54 percent.

Democratic Party spokeswoman Gillian Morris said she wasn’t concerned about how tight the Moore race turned out to be.”They were campaigning pretty hard there,” Morris said. “That also shows how scared they are of what Shelly Moore can do in a general election against.”

State Republican Party spokeswoman Katie McCallum said the results were an embarrassment for Moore but that ultimately Tuesday’s elections wouldn’t change the approach being taken by any of the incumbents.

I do not understand how anyone could defend the incredible tactics that have been used in Wisconsin since Governor Scott Walker took over. Claiming that terminating collective bargaining was a fiscal matter and then saying it wasn’t while they were still insisting it would save money.

Holding a vote without giving advance warning, defying court rulings, locking down the capital and arresting protesters have all been a part of Wisconsin’s dirty play. And now, they decide to recruit Republicans to mask as Democrats just to delay the inevitable. What the what?
