So its reasonable to assume that for Obama 2.0 Obama will be confiscating all your guns and he will likely attempt to limit your religious rights as well! He has already passed a law that will limit how you will receive your future medical care and you will be facing some very angry IRS enforcement agents if you don't buy Obama's health insurance! So before Obama sends his jack booted goon squad to your house to confiscate all your guns, it might be wise just to surrender your guns and your Bibles to your nearest police station and then pray that you have enough money to buy Obamacare insurance before the IRS takes control of your bank accounts or locks you up or both !

Air Force One cost us $180,000 per hour to operate. The Obama staff now cost us $37.8 million and growing. It cost $1.6 billion a year to protect him, $400,000 a year salary plus room and board then $191,000 a year retirement.

No Social Security revenue should be used for anything else except Social Security. 2. Make the Congress pay back the money they have borrowed out of the Social Security fund. I wouldn't hold my breath! LOL! We can solve the Social Security problem as Al Gore proposed 20 years ago.

Our REAL debt is around $87 Trillion not $16 Trillion when you add the unfunded liabilities of entitlements. Our GDP is only about $15 Trillion per year. Does it take advanced calculus to compute that this is a fiscal nightmare. How is that to be paid off other than impoverishing our children and grandchildren who will be forced to when we can no longer borrow money.
