We are on the Wrong Track

A CBS News/New York Times poll shows 63 % of Americans oppose raising the debt limit.

Also unpopular with the American people according to the same poll is Congress. Only 16% approve of the job Congress is doing. Of those polled 75% disapprove of the job Congress is dong.

The President did not fair too well either when it comes to the issues, Mr. Obama has a 39% approval rating on his handling of foreign policy, a 38% percent approval on handling the economy and a 33% percent approval rating on handling the budget deficit.

The poll showed 75% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track.

Despite all this the Democratic Party, which seems to be under the influence of socialists and Chicago politics, seems to think they know better than the majority of Americans when it comes to how this Country should be governed.

The American People are calling for limited government and fiscal responsibility from our Federal Government. Several members of Congress, both Republican and Democrat have said that Washington cannot continue to spend at the levels it is currently doing. To continue on this path that the President and members of his party have put us on will bankrupt the nation.

The same can be said of our state government. The same Chicago/Cook County politics that have driven our nation to the edge of bankruptcy is alive and well in Illinois. We need to contact all our representatives in government, at all levels and remind them that they represent the people and not big government or big corporations. Enough of the bailouts and handouts, we should all be equal to either fail or succeed in life.
