This morning, I announced my intention to seek another term in the United States Senate. I’m running for reelection because out-of-control entitlement spending is jeopardizing America’s future, andit’s essential that we take action now.
President Obama is spending money we don’t have. Today, mandatory entitlement programs – Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security –have grown to over 54% of government spending.And with the interest on the national debt, that’s two-thirds of the federal budget.
But Washington has turned on the autopilot. Congress has abandoned their constitutional power of the purse and committed the majority of government spending to three programs that continue to grow unsustainably.
Under President Obama, we are seeing the greatest deficits we have ever seen. Our national debt of $12 trillion has increased by $1.4 trillion in just his first year in office.
The next five years are crucial.
Within five years, Washington will be forced face the looming crisis that is threatening to bankrupt our country. This is no time for rookies and on-the-job training.
Through my experience as a businessman and understanding of public service, I will lead the fight against the real fiscal threat to our country and offer innovative solutions to secure America’s future.
We can’t wait to solve this problem.
The fight is now.
Please take a moment to read my plan to tackle the problems we face.
Where is the petition to pass the Social Security bill and Economic Disaster Prevention Act as mentioned on the back of your brochure? We’re anxious to sign!
Where is the action on illegal immigration? On H-1B and H-2B visas? On the 7 million people illegally in this country doing jobs Americans can do and would like to do? On the million or more legal immigrants, temporary and permanent, still coming to this country every year to do jobs there supposedly aren’t any Americans to do – at a time of 10%+ unemployment?
Senator, mass immigration has been a bust. It always was a bust, it’s just that, awash in the economic boom (being fed by borrowed money), we could easily ignore the costs. It’s time to tighten our belts, and send illegal workers back to their home countries and reduce legal immigration to a sustainable level. I have a feeling that if you won’t do that, someone else will. You need to lead, follow, or get out of the way – and I’m pretty sure it’s the latter.
Oh and please, oh please, for God’s sake – no ads this election making fun of your looks. We live in serious times now.
