Perot Charts By: Curtis Ophoven 6/16/2008 - 7 Comments The master of financial charts, Ross Perot, has just launched a new website to help education the America public about the US economic crisis that we now face. Your Ad Here Here are a few of the opening comments on the website, PerotCharts.com. Why this web site now? Because we are running out of time. The American people must wake up and face the reality that promises made in the past will soon bankrupt this nation. The United States faces large and growing budget deficits mostly due to an aging population and rising healthcare costs. Unless we solve the problems caused by entitlement spending, there will be little money left to do anything else in the future. Over time, our standard of living, our national security, our standing in the world and the value of our currency could all be threatened. The sooner we confront these issues, the better. This presentation explains the problems. PerotCharts.com addresses many issues, including; Budget Deficit, Education, Federal Budget, Gross Domestic Product, Healthcare and Medicaid, Population, Savings, Social Security and Taxes. PerotCharts.com also has a blog section for readers to comment and discuss these issues. The primary culprit for the economic crisis is the federal government, which has led us into a 9.4 trillion dollar deficit that is increasing by more than 1 billion dollars a day. The only thing that is missing is any mention of consumer debt, which is now over $100,000 per household.  Check it out! What do you think?   Subscribe via RSS Copyright © 2010 PennyJobs.com.

Comment 2 Maggie Says: on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 10:03:40 AM Perot charts quite informative-- thanks for the website in your article-- One idea--if the 12,000,000 immigrants became legal and paid into SS and Medicare-- wouln't that help out our problem-??? Comment 3 Brian Says: on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 8:18:23 PM In ways Mr. Perot "dumbs in down" for us by showing charts, but the fact of the matter is, it’s the truth! No matter how hard or ugly the deficit problem is the first step is to acknowledge it. The main parties are too worried about stepping on the toes of donors to take a stand. Hats off to you Mr. Perot! Comment 4 Curt Says: on Thursday, June 19, 2008 8:15:16 AM @J - Their is a growing number of dooms day economic, like Ross Perot and Ron Pual. Someday, they may all say, 'I told you so'. @Maggie - A lot of immigrants do pay SS and Medicare, but the ones that don't cannot affort to anyway. If they did, the businesses would go under when they also had to pay the heavy taxes for having official employees. @Brian - I agree, the first step is to acknowledge that we have a debt problem, which no one in politics seems ready to do.

Freedom: America's Competitive Advantage in the Global Market Gamble argues that globalization brings far more benefits to the U.S. economy than it takes away. Gamble shows that both Europe and emerging economic powers like China and India have serious long-terms problems linked to their cultures, political structures, occasional instability, and state ownership of companies. These and other factors will eventually put a brake on the economic growth of hot emerging economies. The fundamental protections of property and free speech, a culture that promotes and rewards entrepreneurship, banking policies that make capital easily available, are still more supportive of economic growth and wealth creation than can be found anywhere else. Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil Ethanol is perhaps the best strategy to reduce our dependence on oil. Flex-fuel technology has already been developed by an inventive woman engineer at Ford named Roberta Nichols, enabling an engine to run on any mixture of alcohol or gasoline. Our oil money is the primary source of revenue for the terror supporting nations like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela. With the rising price of gas, ethanol is now cost effective to produce and a strong weapon against the terrorist.
