America:  Do you feel violated yet?
-Devvy Kidd

"Then I say, the earth belongs to each of these generations during its course, fully and in its own right. The second generation receives it clear of the debts and encumbrances of the first, the third of the second, and so on. For if the first could charge it with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead and not to the living generation. Then, no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence." --Thomas Jefferson

As I write this column, the national debt created by the U.S. Congress without the consent of we the people is $12.7 TRILLION dollars. The people's treasury is bankrupt with current obligations running into numbers most people can't even grasp - Social security and Medicare have $99 TRILLION dollars in unfunded mandates:

"Let's say you and I and Bruce Ericson and every U.S. citizen who is alive today decided to fully address this unfunded liability through lump-sum payments from our own pocketbooks, so that all of us and all future generations could be secure in the knowledge that we and they would receive promised benefits in perpetuity. How much would we have to pay if we split the tab? Again, the math is painful. With a total population of 304 million, from infants to the elderly, the per-person payment to the federal treasury would come to $330,000. This comes to $1.3 million per family of four—over 25 times the average household's income." [1]

The actual unemployment rate is 26.2%. The number of Americans on food stamps is 39.4 million - an increase of 5.9 million since last November. While Americans have nothing left after their paychecks are pinched for federal taxes and "entitlement" programs, usurper Hillary Clinton brokered a deal with Pakistan to steal more of the fruits of our labor:
