Democrat party leaders…and a bit more

Ready – let’s go:

Dick Durbin – 72 years old.  Illinois senator for 20 years.  Here are a few simple facts about (IL) –

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget office estimates the state will have a budget deficit of over $5 billion by the end of fiscal year 2017, and billions more in the years to come. The Illinois comptroller’s website shows the state has a $10 billion mountain of unpaid bills. And the General Assembly’s analysts have announced the state’s pension debt has spiked to a record $130 billion.

For many, tax hikes look like the only solution to Illinois’ fiscal woes. But tax hikes will only make things worse. Illinoisans are already burdened with some of the highest taxes in the nation, including the highest property taxes of any state.

As a result of Illinois’ dysfunction, the state is bleeding people and its tax base. Between July 2014 and July 2015, approximately 300,000 people left Illinois for good and only 200,000 moved in, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This resulted in a loss of 105,000 residents on net to other states – an all-time high for Illinois. Tax hikes will only chase more residents away.

USA debt 20 years ago –   $  5.4 TRILLION

USA debt today –                 $19.8 TRILLION

We ask you this – why would the people of IL want this clown in the senate?  Much less in the state?   (Raises an interesting question about who benefits?)   Give the dope Obama credit for not going back to IL!

Next this dope from New York City –

Chuck Schumer – 67 years old.   NY senator for 19 years.  From the NYC – here is a recent statement about the NYC financial condition -

In our latest review of the financial conditions of the 20 largest cities in the United States, New York City ranked 20th among the 20 cities. Last.

This ranking is based on Truth in Accounting’s bottom-line “Taxpayer Burden” measure, which represents each taxpayer’s share of unfunded debt. New York City has accumulated over $150 billion in bills above and beyond assets available on the balance sheet, leading to a $61,000 bill facing city taxpayers, on average.

Starting to get the picture?

Here is the dopey gal from CA –

Nancy Pelosi – 77 years old.  Been in the House since 1987 – THIRTY YEARS FOLKS!

What pray tell was USA debt thirty years ago?  See below:

$ 2.3 TRILLION

Should we go on?  Well let’s do one dope from the other party – okay?

John McCain – 80 years old.   Been in the senate for 30 years – since 1987.   Debt when he arrived – see above.

Let’s close with a very simple and basic fundamental – actually two fundamentals.

1.    None of these dopes should be able to be in office for anything near their time periods much less get paid and benefitted as they are.  Cut their pay – set very short time periods of office – no more retirement and other benefits (i.e. – encourage Americans with other skills and employment opportunities to serve and then return to their respective jobs).   Now if you doubt the need for this, read #2 below.

2.    Debt must be repaid in reasonable time periods – no longer than 20 years.  And the dopes above – no more than 12 years total combined in the House and Senate.  Yes, we know, that is still a bit too long but it is a start.

Closing comment or whatever - is this ridiculous?  Dopey?  Undoable?   No folks it's not.  It simply will not get done as long as clowns like the above can be in office - stay in office - get paid for doing so - and not be forced to follow fundamental disciplines that all good Americans follow!  We work real jobs - we repay our debt!
