Valin Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Human Events:Dean Clancy11/03/2011Government debt has become the single greatest threat to liberty and prosperity around the globe. It has swamped Greece. It threatens Ireland and Portugal. The possibility of its spreading across Europe has provoked panic. America faces its own equally daunting challenge. Our national debt now stands at $14.7 trillion, nearly equal to our entire annual output.This summer, Congress had a golden opportunity to use the debt ceiling crisis to force the substantial spending cuts that everyone knows are needed to save our economy. But once again, the Beltway crowd failed us. But, just as we saw in 2009 and 2010, the tea party is stepping into the breach. Together with local groups across the country, we’ve formed our own “Tea Party Debt Commission.”Like the Super Committee, our Commission has a dozen members; though instead of powerful insiders, they’re all regular citizens. On Nov. 17, these outsiders will unveil a bold, serious, and credible plan that stabilizes the debt, reduces spending by $9 trillion over the next decade, and balances the budget within ten years without tax hikes.(Snip)Tea Party Debt Commission: What Would You Cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
