HOW MUCH IS ONE TRILLION DOLLARS?

Our nation is trillions of dollars in debt... So, how much is one trillion dollars? The figure one trillion can best be understood not in terms of money, but in terms of time. Not in terms of dollars, but in terms of seconds.

Lets take a trip back in time.

One million seconds takes us back in time almost twelve days

One billion seconds takes us back in time almost 32 years.

One trillion seconds takes us back in time almost 32,000 years.

One trillion seconds takes us back in time almost 30,000 years before Jesus walked our earth.

Conclusion: Our national debt is astronomical. Our national debt is obscene. Our national debt is scandalous.

THE WAR ON TERRORISM

There Will Be No Forgiveness for Incompetence

After the 911 massacre, George Bush kept this country safe for the remaining seven years and four months of his presidency. He was harshly criticized for some of his tactics and methods, but he kept us safe from another attack. Bush may have made some mistakes, but history will forgive him for that. But there will be no forgiveness for an American President who mishandles the war on terrorism. If a weak and waffling foreign policy is responsible for a terrorist attack, there will be no forgiveness. If civilian trials and reading terrorists their Miranda rights is responsible for a terrorist attack, there will be no forgiveness. If a stumbling and bumbling American President is responsible for a terrorist attack, there will be no forgiveness.

What's wrong with Obama? Obama is a dreamer. He is dreaming of world peace. But dreaming of peace is not a strategy. Dreams are good, but reality is better.

Mr. President -- If we are hit on your watch, there will be no forgiveness for you. None. Not now. Not ever!

Why Socialism Doesn't Work, And Capitalism Does

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich."
John Henry Boetcker

At first glance, Socialism can seem like such a good idea – an attempt to achieve fairness and justice by leveling the playing field and sharing the wealth. It may sound good, but it's not. No socialist country has ever achieved fairness or justice. They all end up doing the same thing; punishing success and rewarding failure. Penalizing initiative and rewarding laziness, and stifling excellence and rewarding mediocrity.

Capitalism will always be the pathway to progress and prosperity. Capitalism gives people the incentive to create jobs and to strive for quality productivity. It gives everyone the opportunity to succeed and take pride in something. Capitalism always produces competition and competition is always good for the consumer.

Socialism fails and fails and fails because it is all about the power and control of the government. Capitalism succeeds because its all about the freedom and power of the people. Power to the people!
