Editor:
I have a hard time believing that Willson Bloch would vote for President Barack Hussein Obama rather than Governor Willard Mitt Romney simply because Romney says that he wants to increase military spending while cutting other programs.
Perhaps Bloch has forgotten that the national debt has now increased more during President Obamas less than four years in office than it did during eight years of the George W. Bush presidency. This is because he wants to spend money the government doesnt have. It was $10.626 trillion on President Bushs last day in office, which coincided with President Obamas first day. It is now over $16 trillion and estimated to reach over $20 trillion if Obama is re-elected and no change in this spending spree happens. That would mean the debt increased by 87 percent, or $9.34 trillion, during his two terms.
A vote for a Republican candidate will put the brakes on this spending.
