During the Obama presidency the federal deficit has basically doubled. We now have a federal deficit of over $17 Trillion that T not a B. You can not blame it on Iraq or Afganistan since those wars were well underway before he came into office and most of the expense is in the billions of dollars of equipment vehicles, building, arms, trucks, planes etc that were bought, built and transported to the battlefield most of which was already in country before Obama's election. You can not blame it all on the recession because if you believe Obama the recession is over and we are well into a recovery, or so he says. My reply to that claim is what recovery? So if its not the wars and its not the recession why have the federal deficits doubled since Obama took office? Its not the costs of OBAMACARE since the true inflationary costs of that program cannot yet have begun to be seen since the program doesn't really begin until next year! There really is only one answer and that is out of control spending beyond the tax income the government takes in!
So its our overspending without adequate tax revenue to offset the spending. Can we all basically agree on that? That brings us to the next question. If we are spending more than our revenue What impact will that have on future tax rates? Do you believe that the Congress and the president are going to balance the deficit in the next 10 years or so? I don't. So what do you think will happen to our tax rates over the next 10-25 years? The only logical answer is they are going to go up. If that is the case than it is even more important that we begin to plan for how to manage the taxes we will have to pay! Tax free or tax controlled income planning and tax free retirement products are therefore almost essential! We can help you with that!
