Speak Out – October 12, 2013

Tuesday — 8:21 p.m.

Hey, this is Dennis. I'm not an economist. I'm a simple working man. My economic theory is simple. You need more money coming in each month than you spend and you cannot borrow your way out of debt. The course our country is on is unsustainable. We print billions of dollars per month with no gold or silver to back it.

We borrow billions of dollars a month to pay our debt. It is unsustainable. How long can we keep doing this. Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know. It could be two years, 10 years, 20 years. However long it takes, I do predict it will collapse at some point in time. I do not think it will be a pleasant thing. In the meantime, we put more financial burdens on the working class to give money to people that sit at home and do nothing.

Wednesday — 1:16 p.m.

Yeah, this is Bobby. I just noticed, looking at them working on the median on 90. They cut those palms down because they said the roots interfered with the pipes and stuff. And they left some other bushes there. I guess, apparently, they don't have roots. Every palm tree I saw didn't have very many roots and it wasn't very big, it just had a little ball. So I don't know if that's Crepe Myrtles or what. But, I guess they're rootless.

Wednesday — 2:53 p.m.

Yes, my name is Bruce from Pace. I'm calling in reference to what's going on in the government with not passing bills.

Being a veteran of 34 years, we're feeding the north Chinese and North Koreans. We're throwing away, we're borrowing money to give to other countries.

Personally, being overseas, I have seen people in Korea stealing us blind and everybody knew about it. The black market is rampant in Korea. When I was there, just stuff like ketchup and hot dogs was limited. If you can't find it on bases, just go to the front gate and you'll find it.

People they hire at these foreign bases, you can't fire them. Any veteran that has been overseas, at any of the bases has seen all the theft going on, even in the Philippines it happened.

My point is why are we giving all this money to other countries, and we can't even take care of the Unites States. I think everyone in the government should be fired from their jobs. Not only fired, they should be put in jail. No matter what party you belong to, there's enough to go around.

I read in Speak Out, the lady talking about Boehner. Boehner's just one person. What about Obama and all the stuff that he's done? And Pelosi, she had to pass the Obamacare bill so she could find out what's in it. I think it's about time we hold these people accountable.

We need to find out how much is being spent overseas and cut this foreign aid out. We're giving stuff to people that hate us. We're borrowing money from the Chinese to pay them.

Wednesday — 5:49 p.m.

Yeah, this is Raymond and I'd like to say the white American leadership in this country hasn't changed much at all with the times. Because if they don't get their way, they just grumble and take advantage of the situation. This is why the American people are being bullied by the same people they put in office at the White  House and in congress. What a shame.

Thursday — 7:41 a.m.

This is Kenneth. I think the people ought to take a close look at what is going on in this country. Our president is committed to performing economic jihad on this country. He wants to take down the great Satan, which is the United States. If we take a close look, we will see he is coming very close to doing that at the present time. He is doing all in his power to bring this about. He looks forward to a great reward in the life hereafter from Allah for what he will have accomplished in bringing down the economy of the United States.
