Ross Perot’s Charts

By Tommy Leung on 06/17/2008 in Politics

It looks like Ross Perot is quite concerned with our economic outlook as well. His new site, Perot Charts, provides detailed information about government spending, deficits, and other economic data. There is also a presentation that talks about how we got to our current national debt problem–$9.2 trillion–and makes projections to the future.

I am completely against greater and greater government spending and we certainly need to fix this problem before things get really out of hand. I am certainly glad to see Perot trying to provide information and educate the American people about this issue. We need to start cutting government spending as soon as possible–preferably now–before our debt eats all of us alive. This is obviously why we can’t continue fighting these wars, maintaining bases around the world, provide “universal” health care, or subsidize any industries.

Unless, of course, we are trying to lower our standards of living. In that case, we are doing a damn good job of it.
