From CNS News:

111th Congress, Democrat controlled, has accumulated more new debt–$3.22 trillion than the first 100 Congresses combined

111th Congress, Democrat controlled, has given each American $10,429.64 in new debt.

Each American is now in debt to the tune of $44,886.57 for the total national debt of $13.859 trillion.

111th Congress, Democrat controlled, has set the record as the most debt-accumulating Congress in U.S. history.

During the Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) tenure as speaker, which commenced on Jan. 4, 2007, the federal government has run up $5.177 trillion in new debt. That is about equal to the total debt the federal government accumulated in the first 120 years of the nation’s existence.

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small “L” libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America’s Founders back into our culture.
