Government out of control?

“In three short years, an unprecedented explosion of spending, with borrowed money, has added trillions to an already unaffordable national debt. And yet, the President has put us on a course to make it radically worse in the years ahead. The federal government now spends one of every four dollars in the entire economy; it borrows one of every three dollars it spends. No nation, no entity, large or small, public or private, can thrive, or survive intact, with debts as huge as ours."

Republicans will say "Spending" yet conveniently forget that most of our spending goes towards medicare and medicaid, and in paying interest on our debt...most of which is owned by the states.
