THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Ferguson Fallout Though it has been a week since the grand jury reached its decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson, Ferguson continues to dominate the national conversation. This is the case for a number of reasons. Protests continue throughout the country.  While most remain peaceful, businesses and communities such as Ferguson are still recovering from the looting and arson that took place following the grand jury's decision.  On Hannity, we put up pictures and video of those who committed such crimes.  The purpose is to make sure that justice is served, which is important because we do not want this type of behavior to continue or happen again. Unfortunately, this type of behavior was encouraged by some, including Michael Brown's own stepfather who was caught on tape yelling, “Burn this b**** down!”  We can understand a parent who is upset over the death of a child, but did this go too far in inciting people to riot?

When Barack Obama became president in January 2009 our national debt was a little over $10.5 trillion. While that was already an astounding figure, our debt has now increased 70% during Obama's presidency.  It has now surpassed 100% of our debt to GDP ratio. It's difficult to imagine how we even stop the accumulation of debt, much less turn the tide and begin to pay it down.  We could start with a balanced budget amendment. It is our children, grandchildren and future generations who will ultimately pay the price.  We are saddling them with debt that is virtually unsustainable and that is a crime. Source: Zero Hedge
