Uncle Sam Must Diet or He Will Die

Libertarian Party of New Hampshire Presidential candidate George Phillies today warned that the Paulson bailout plan risks the life of our country.  "We just added a trillion dollars to next year's budget deficit," Phillies warned.  "Even America can't borrow that much money, not year after year, not without wrecking our credit rating.  At some point, interest on the national debt will approach tax revenues, and lenders will shut their door in his face."

"Uncle Sam has a debt addiction," Phillies said.  "That's like an eating addiction.  Uncle Sam can't stop himself from borrowing, no matter how much he inflates his national debt.  That's like the neighbors down the street who can't stop eating, no matter they've gone from three hundred pounds to five hundred pounds.  Overeating will kill your neighbor, and overborrowing will in the end kill Uncle Sam, too.

"Like the 400-pound chain-smoker down the street, Uncle Sam is morbidly ill.  He desperately needs help from his friends and relatives.  He needs a strong dose of New Hampshire thriftiness.

"Only the Libertarian Party will give you the budget cuts that will save us." Phillies said. "The American voter must reform our Uncle Sam's ways, or he will surely die, and take us with him."
