Federal Deficit Budget Course 101
Folks, we may be in trouble, 7 Trillion Deficite, just the interest we pay on this annually is more than 400 billion dollars.
That is more than the entire annual defense budget used to be..
This is the actual Federal Budget broken down by Monies Allocated to each Category

My Comparative Budget Chart Below
showing the Outlays of 1979 Budget

This is more than the Defense Budget in 89. The money disappears into, large International banks, into other countries banks. Into the hands of the 1% who control more than 80% of the wealth of America. This would be great if they invested this money back into our country but, alas, it's going to outsourcing, business development in countries that have eaten our jobs. And International Banks that really don't have America as their best interest. Go see the Charts Below, and visit their main Page, the US Treasury. (www.federalbudget.com).
Suppose, God decided not to judge the earth. Suppose he just let it judge itself. Suppose he let Nations just be judged on the economic choices it made with it’s money, time, interests,. In the good that could have been done but mankind declined to acknowledge and react to the needs. We probably have enough evidence of greed, indolence, neglect, and indifference to convict our generation of being upright, or even worthy to continue. Mankind has been a testamony against itself. We were handed a cold war free world. A Russia wanting friendship and help. A lower europe needing our time interest to help develop small businesses and rural strengths.
We now let people who steal 11 billion like ENRON, who put 30 thousand out of work, walk around and the "investivigative reporters" focus all the news channels on, Martha Stuart or Michael Jackson at the same time the story is being released. Martha was trying to make 55000 in the stock market. We now let 12 billion dollar deals go to the company of the Vice President while letting 20 percent of our companies move to China, Malaysia, Tailand, Mexico, South America, and yet offend some of our best friends, Canada, Europe, and Israel. A country of 6 million surrounded by 1.8 Billion Muslims swearing their total annahialiation as soon as they can. Yet our government is backing Arabs who sent 17 of the 22 terrorist that blew up the trade towers. They don't stop the Arabs, who pay the suicide bombers $ 33,000 dollars to kill as many as they can
Last year (FY03) the U. S. Government spent $318 Billion of your money on interest payments* to the holders of the National Debt. Compare that to NASA at $14 Billion, Education at $32 Billion, and Department of Transportation at $51 Billion. We are now three months into FY04, and the interest on the National Debt has already cost us $115 Billion. Other Great Sources to Research the Issue

This is the proposed budget for 2004-2005
The costs of warmaking are staggering-especially while cities and states face huge budget deficits.
The administration has hidden its real priorities by not putting the costs of the war on terrorism or war on Iraq in its budget. Stay informed about the real budget and other means to enhance security by seeking information from the groups below.

Choice 1
The Government Deception The pie chart below is the government view of the budget. This is a distortion of how our income tax dollars are spent because it includes Trust Funds (e.g., Social Security), and the expenses of past military spending are not distinguished from nonmilitary spending. For a more accurate representation of how your Federal income tax dollar is really spent, see the large chart.

The Cost of our Choices.
Every year 25 million starve to death. We could feed them all for 12 Billion Dollars. Look at the Budget Chart and see what mankind chooses to spend it's money on.

We could put every high school student through college. This would open more jobs and help students needing the later carreer deciding years to learn without so much destructive pressure. Crime would go down 50-80 %. Crimnal Study on age between 12-26. Students would work harder in high school because they would have a real hope of going on to further college choices.

Here are some excellent Government Links to do further comparasons.


Today's Situation Compared with the Good Old Depression

One reason America was Great during the 50’s and 60’s is that it had the largest middle class in the world. Then one dad could support an entire family. Now both husband and wife work and still are under constant stress just to make it each month. In the 50/60’s Americans had an average of 11 months of savings if jobs were lost. Now 80% of the families are just 3 paychecks away from losing their homes and all security. The one dad used to work for a month to pay his Taxes. Now most Americans work from January through June just to cover the amount the Government takes from us annually. We now have been sold into slavery. The American people are slaves to a 7 Trillion Deficite, that we can never pay off according to our current GDP.

The days of the “Great Depression” of the 30’s is much better than today. The population of 136,000,000 had almost 10% to 25% unemployment. That comes to a total of 13,000,000 Americans. But the government and the businesses were all trying to create jobs for everyone. Americans helped Americans. Now with a population of 290,000,000 they say we have lost 3.4 Million Full Paying Jobs just last year. And 5-6% Unemployment. If you include the Americans who have quit filing the percent could reach 8%. That comes to 17,400,000 unemployed Americans. There is an estimated 30 million illegial aliens who are getting the jobs that the old depression dust bowl workers stood in line for. We are actually in a situation much worse than the depression. The Government has already spent any help money on 7 Trillion Borrowed and not payed back monies. Doubling the Federal Money for Defence to 700 billion from 380 billion annually. But most of all,
Many businesses are outsourcing americans jobs to other countries. The big businesses that are multi-monopolies are not putting their profits back into the American People. In fact, in the days of the Revolution, they would be the most unamerican of all. We fought to obtain the “means of production”. These businessmen are literally shutting down all the means of production and moving their high tech industries to China, Malaysia, Asia,. Even Mexico is complaining because these businessmen are goint to China and undercutting the costs of making it in Mexico.

While in Britan from 1976-1989 we watched them go from 17 steel mills to 0. They had outsourced all metals to Japan and Germany until they could never tool-up in a time of crisis. This year the steel tarrif was cancelled and the few Industrial Cities in America have head the Giant Sucking Sound. It will not be long when were down to 2 or 3 steel mills. The trouble with letting everyone else make our high tech metals is if, there were a war, where we had to tool up like we did in WW2, we would have to ask China and Japan to make our weapons.

In Wasington all of our costal mills are closed. The Japanese have ships 3 miles off our coast and buy the raw lumber and we buy back our own milled lumber. The mill towns look like ghost towns. Are they all retraining to administrate computer networks. No, those jobs are being out sourced as well. Hundreds of Finance Firms now have people in India doing their basic book work. Why, only $ 3.00 an hour.

If you go to Target or Walmart all the made in’s say, Mexico or China.
