More on the American taxpayer's bailout of Greece

Yesterday I wrote about the bailout for Greece. I am sure that many Americans aren't aware that their tax dollars are now going to be used to assist in this bailout. Actually I have just learned this within the past couple of days. So for a little background;
In the spring of 2009 President Obama pledged $100 billion from America to help fund the International Monetary Fund or IMF for short. In May of 2009 Congress honored his request and $108 billion dollars of American taxpayer money was approved for the IMF. This occurred within months after the American taxpayers funded a $700 billion bailout of American banks and companies deemed too big to fail.
People it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you can't spend money you don't have. Sooner or later you are going to have to pay the piper. Only an idiot would not see this. The problem here, is that Washington is full of idiots who feel as if our tax dollars are theirs to spend as they see fit and are not really concerned with having to pay the piper. Why? Because they won't have to. That task will fall to you and me, our children and our grandchildren.
Folks something has to give and that something starts with the American people. We can no longer afford to not get involved. We can no longer afford to not be informed. We have all seen how things work in Washington. That is why we have become so disillusioned and untrusting of those we have elected to represent us. That is the reason our country is in the shape it is in today. We have let this go on for way too long. The primary concern of a politician is to get reelected, not to do what is best for America or the American people. That is why we have to stop electing career politicians to represent us. That is why we have to hold those we elect accountable for their actions.
This country was founded on the belief that the government belongs to the people. It is time that we reclaim it. Before anyone reads more into that I am not talking about with violence. We all have a voice here and we need to use it. We owe it to our country, ourselves and our children.
