Today, I introduced a unique bill that goes in a
completely
different direction than everything else we’ve been hearing out of
Washington. It would force politicians to start practicing what they’ve
been preaching by lowering the debt ceiling from $14.3 trillion back
down to $13 trillion.
Admittedly, this is not your run-of-the-mill kind
of law, but it would make it imperative for Congress to think outside
of the box and come up with ways to pay off a portion of our debt while
drastically cutting back spending. Since 1996, the national debt has
increased by an inexcusable $8.79 trillion. I firmly believe that this
calls for emergency measures to reduce the debt.
Moreover, in this time of crisis, liberals are pushing for a $2
trillion increase in our debt ceiling. And their only answer for our
financial fiasco is to cut nothing and raise taxes on everything

It would be easy to cut, but they won't. They're greedy, immature pukes that won't admit they've failed in doing the most basic part of their job.

Mine, too, Tim -- so I gotta go with my second thought:
ReplyDeleteWhy have I not heard any speeches listing a pile of the stupid crap they [R&D, Inc.] have spent our [US] money on? Snails and Murtha Airport and so forth?!?
Big. Public. Speech.
We could jettison all that crap and half the budgets of the other crap, make 'em all publish their books on the front page of the NYT [hell -- they're not publishing anything else worthwhile] and make significant *cough* Progress toward budget balancing, eh?
Silly idea....
nevermind.

The 1000 pound gorilla in the room everyone is studiously ignoring is the fact that these [people] consider themselves above any law. They don't pay any attention to what the Constitution dictates now. What makes anyone think a new law or Amendment will change anything? It's well past time we start decorating lampposts to remind these [people] who's in charge.
