'Maybe the sky is falling'

How about all these letters from progressive-minded folks? They believe every word that President Barack Obama utters. They'd vote for him no matter what. The president led them by the nose to the voting booth by preying on their petty envy of successful people. Their letters claim that conservatives are sore losers who go around whining that the sky is falling.

The U.S. is falling $4 billion a day further into debt. We are paying $1 billion a day interest only on the current debt. By the time the president vacates office in 2016, the overall debt will have grown from approximately $10 trillion to at least $22 trillion. Welfare overall has jumped 30 percent in the last four years.

Our state, which is drowning in debt, will now give free cell phones and minute plans to homeless people. The governor wants to move full speed ahead on a $100 billion bullet train.

You liberal folks read the above assessment and write letters saying Obama will return America to its past glory. Conservatives read it and are forced to say, "Maybe the sky is falling."
