Continuing Obama policies would be disaster

Posted February 13, 2016 12:00 am

It took 216 years to accumulate $8.5 trillion in the National debt. In just seven years, President Obama has more than doubled that. And now he has submitted a new budget that exceeds the incoming revenue again.

By the time he leaves office, our debt will exceed $20 trillion.

Despite his misleading statements regarding jobs, the labor participation rate is the lowest since 1970. and that rate has increased every year of his presidency. In addition, the amount of food stamps has doubled since he took office. It may take a decade to fix what Mr. Obama has destroyed.

And Hillary Clinton has stated she wants to continue Obama policies. If that happens, we won't recognize this country. The only thing worse is Bernie Sanders turning our great country to a socialist country.
