My reason for going was not to support one political party or the other.  I went to let both political parties know that government spending has been out of control and is getting even more out of control.  It used to be that a billion dollars was a big deal.  Now it takes hundreds of billions and even a trillion dollars to catch our attention.

Democrats, Republicans and Independents should all be concerned that we are spending way more money than we have and are racking up huge generational debts at the same time Social Security and Medicare costs are projected to skyrocket as the baby boomers age. 

At some point, someone is going to have to pay our HUGE bar tab.  Unfortunately, it is probably going to be our kids and grandchildren.
