Has Obama used our money well?

Has Obama used your money well?

I believe Obama, in the last 4 years, has not used our money well (as evidenced by the fact that the government is in way more debt than it used to be, even when he promised us that he would get us out of debt).  Because we're now in more debt, Obama wants to raise taxes.  I don't fit in the "rich" category, but the truth is, even if the government took every dime from the rich and gave it to the government, the government still wouldn't be able to pay for its expenses.  So, what would Obama do after that?  He can reduce the government's expenses. But, the last 4 years have shown that he isn't willing to do that. So, the only other option is to get more money from taxes, from people, like you and me.

Why a balanced budget is important to you and me:

I believe Romney will help balance our budget. I believe this because he's done it before. I believe this because he worked in business most of his life and knows that you have to balance a budget if you want to survive, whether you're a family, a business or the government.

A balanced government budget will help you and me because:

• The government won't have to keep raising our taxes.  That's a good thing.
• The government can pay us back when we retire, through social security. That's a good thing.
• When the government doesn't swallow up so much money, there is more money in our economy, which I believe will translate into companies hiring more and people having higher incomes.

I think some people forget that President Obama has been President for 4 years.  I don't see any proof from the last 4 years that he will make serious efforts to balance the budget. But I do see a track record of Romney balancing budgets.
