Sen. Tom Coburn must be listening to Glenn Beck.
“We have way too much government and not enough of what made America great,” Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) told the debt commission last week.
Coburn criticized the amount of government and spending that has created a tremendous amount of debt. “You can not be comfortable with the status quo,” he told his Congressional colleagues as well as commission chairs Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles. ”
History says we’re not going to make it,” Coburn said, citing Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton said that the average age of a Republic was 200 years and eventually “all republics fail.”
“The way forward for America is for everybody to start sacrificing so we create a future that is honoring the tremendous sacrifice that came before us,” he said.
