Jonathan Bush, CEO of Athena Health, on the 2016 Election

On 10/21/16 CNBC anchor David Fabor asked about the election who he would vote for, Jonathan S. Bush answered:

"If you can't stand the nut on the right and if you can't stand the nut on the left, then go for the Johnson."

Jonathan Bush is CEO of Athena Health, cousin of former U.S. President George W. Bush, nephew of U.S. President George H. W. Bush, and brother of television presenter Billy Bush who was fired for egging presidential candidate Donald Trump into saying he could "grab women by the pussy."

President Obama Total National Debt Clock Ticks Towards $17 Trillion

It is interesting that in 2008 presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama thought former President Bush was unpatriotic and irresponsible for adding $4 trillion to the national debt to bring it to roughly $9 trillion.  (You can watch the YouTube video below to hear his own words.)

Today our debt is almost $17 trillion (See Debt Clock below) which $8 trillion higher then when he spoke against "using a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children."

The ticking debt clock I also posted above shows it is getting close to $17T.

President Obama  will more than double it on his watch.

Before Congress gives President Obama a free pass to use the "credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children" to ring up even more debt, I'd like to hear him explain if he was wrong in the past and what changed his mind.

On Tax Day, Libertarians call spending compromise "travesty"

Libertarians call spending compromise "travesty"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 15, 2011

  WASHINGTON - Libertarian Party Executive Director Wes Benedict issued the following statement today:

"Just in time for Tax Day, the Republicans and Democrats in Congress have joined hands to clobber American taxpayers.

"According to the Associated Press, the 2011 spending compromise will 'cut federal outlays from non-war accounts by just $352 million through Sept. 30....When war funding is factored in the legislation would actually increase total federal outlays by $3.3 billion relative to current levels.'

"This is happening at a time when federal spending and deficits are at unprecedented high levels. Federal spending this year is expected to be about 5 percent higher than last year. This is a travesty.

"In 2000 under Bill Clinton, federal spending was $1.79 trillion. This year it's expected to be at least $3.63 trillion.

"Neither Democrats nor Republicans have made any serious proposals to change the course of the federal government. In particular, both President Obama's and Congressman Ryan's 2012 budget proposals are absurd. I fear that America will soon be overtaken by events. Inflation, high interest rates, high unemployment, and probably other unforeseen problems will start to force everyone's hand. One way or another, people aren't going to get what they have been led to expect.

"Unless American voters stop supporting Republicans and Democrats very soon, and start supporting Libertarians and Libertarian policies, I believe our future, and the future of our children and grandchildren, will be bleak."

The Cato Institute has produced a short video about the bill, "Obama/Boehner's Phony Spending Cuts."
