A Story Only Washington Believes
Mike walker, Col. USMC (retired)
All,
Sometimes you hear things out of Washington that are insane. Today was one of those days.
The dolts in Washington are saying they already made $1 trillion in spending cuts. Really?
What they are saying is that instead of spending $7 trillion that they didn't have they decided to only spend $6 trillion they didn't have.
It you are a taxpayer, that is like saying I only stabbed you six times when I could have stabbed seven times. Good grief!
How about not stabbing the taxpayer at all? How about balancing the budget! That is fiscal responsibility.
The American government is on the path of spending itself into bankruptcy. It is on track to reach $17,000,000,000,000.00 in debt this year and that does not even address the fact that Medicare and Medicaid are going broke.
On top of that triple-dose fiscal disaster is the looming insolvency of Social Security (by the way, the Social Security Trust Fund that your payroll dollars go into has already been spent, the Trust Fund is really full of US Government IOU's and not real money -- so much for "trust" in Washington).
That's four not three strikes. Government spending is way OUT... of control.
By the way, I have never met one person in the Tea Party who has presented a detailed plan to balance the budget along with fixing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
If the Tea Party wants to remain relevant they better get serious about developing real solutions.
Mike
