Time to kill the monster.

I was born in 1964 when federal governments expenditures were about $118 billion dollars then. At that
time the debt was about 316 billion dollars. The population of the country was about 192 million. Today
we have a population of 304 million or an increase of roughly 50%. So what is our budget and our debt?
Our debt is over 12 trillion not counting the huge liabilities of social security and medicare/medicaid(over 50 trillion).
Our budget is over 3.6 trillion. So let's do some math:
1964 budget is roughly $614 per American and the debt was about $1654 per American.
2009 budget is roughly $11,842 per American and the debt is about $39,473 per American.
That is one heck of an increase. A 50% rise in the population equates to over a 1900% increase in the
budget and an increase in the debt of almost 2400%.
Now who has been in power over those 45 years? Only two parties- the republicans and the democrats.
Both have controlled the entire government during that period and yet the results are clear. Neither party
has done anything to limit the scope and size of government. The budget has skyrocketed on a percentage
basis as has the debt and the deficit. Clearly any talk of reducing government has been a complete lie.

I wonder how many americans thought government was to small and that they were under-taxed in 1964?

Only way to kill this beast is to cut off it's so far unlimited source of funding; the fed and the treasury. END the fed.
