… when Barack Obama is officially Former President Barack Obama. That is the plan for at least one small business man in Georgia. Bill Looman of west Georgia posted a sign on his company’s trucks: "New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone."
Believe it or not, some people are ofennnnnnded. Like I give a flying squirrel.
Looman explains that it is not that he doesn’t want to hire people; it is that he can’t afford it. And he does not foresee being able to afford it because of the ObamaEconomy. (Imagine once ObamaCare finally kicks in.)
This is an economy which has drained trillions from the private sector in order to fund the dreams and schemes of Democrat lawmakers. This is an economy which has teased and leveraged the idea of tax increases on the evil rich, aka. business owners like Bill Looman into a class warfare campaign sure to garner the votes of the envious in 2012. This is an economy that has to shell out $1.75 trillion a year in regulatory compliance costs, and Obama added a record $26.5 billion to those costs just in 2010 alone! This is the ObamaEconomy where Obama’s EPA is wreaking havoc throughout industry. Keep in mind that recent Gallup polling shows the top concern facing small business is … complying with government regulations!
Someone was so offended by Looman’s sign that they reported it to the FBI as a threat to national security.
Threat to our national security? Are you kidding me? There is no greater threat to our national security than the man occupying the Oval Office right now. If you want to talk about a threat to our national security, look no further than the massive debt incurred by the one-and-only Barack Obama. Over a year ago, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, said that the greatest threat to our national security was out nation’s mounting debt. If that’s the case, then Secret Service agents should be showing up to interview the White House occupier, not on the doorstep of a small business owner in West Georgia.
Consider some of these offenses …
The ObamaRegime spends $10 billion every single day. Of that $10 billion, $4 billion are borrowed. Breaking that down even further, our federal government spends $100,000 every second and borrows $45,000 every second. This level of spending has swelled to a $15 trillion debt. To put THAT in perspective, you can read this article by T.S. Weidler: Just How Much Is 15 Trillion? Here’s a peak:
The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest, at just over 29,000 feet. If you stacked up the $15-trillion debt in a big stack, would it be as tall as Mt. Everest? Yes. Everest is only about $81 million tall. The U.S. government spends that much every eleven minutes or so. To get 15 trillion, you'd need well over 185 thousand stacks as tall as Mt. Everest. A single stack of $15 trillion would go well past the moon. Everest wouldn't even be a pebble. You could say we are under a mountain of debt, but you'd be wrong. We are under a mountain range of debt. A mountain range larger than any on earth.
Overwhelming, eh? At the rate we are going, it’s your children and grandchildren who will be left to deal with a debt much larger than the one we are facing today. Ousting Barack Obama is a start, but we’ve gotta start somewhere.
