For those who say they’re better off after four years of the Obama administration, did you factor in that in the last four years about $5.4 trillion has been added to our country’s debt? Each of us, you and me, now owe $17,000 more than we did in 2008 thanks to President Obama socialist giveaway programs.

Obama has proved he has no regard for the cost of all programs or the financial health of our country. At the current rate, if he’s re-elected, we would owe at least another $17,000 more, probably a lot more because he’ll be a lame duck, the country will be hopelessly $21 trillion-plus in debt and facing severe cutbacks in every social and public program.

Still like Obama? Then write a $17,000 check to the IRS; they’ll cash it.

Forward, like sheep to slaughter. Wake up, America. Save your money. Vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
