Obama Budget Due Monday as Debate Nears on Raising Debt Ceiling

PYRRHIC VICTORIES; plain and simple. LOQUACIOUS RHETORIC; at best! 545 elected and appointed officials are telling 300 million people what to do, 99.9% of what they tell us is totally wrong and backwards. These same people disavow any responsibility and knowledge for their mistakes at our Country's expense and our expense to the tune of trillions of dollars, sell us out to China and Japan Countries that are polar opposites of what we stand for and believe and we sit back nievely; believing the lies and their failure to do their jobs and elect them over and over again. INSANITY is doing the smae thing over and over and expecting differnet results. We The People had better wake up and soon to our reality, fire these idiots, downsize government by at leats 50%, stop all, yest all the out of control spending like earmarks and pork, get our priorities staright, take back this Great Country.

A sad day for all American's who have to balance a checkbook, run a business and for the Mom's who take care of the home budget. The Debt Ceiling, what a joke and the sad thing about this spending in Washington, it's our money that is being wasted and the future of the American children. Maybe the history books will be kind to what America once was?

Clinton reduced the debt from Bush Sr of $399 billion to $18 billion; and middle class tax cuts and job growth. Dems policies work.
*************
Yes, Jimmy Carter did a great job on the economy didn't he? Double digit unemployment. double digit inflation. Double digit interest rates. Clinton was lucky. He as at the right place at the right time. He rode the crest of the dot com bubble.

Any politician who votes on a bill or package that cuts either Social Security or Medicare will not get my vote, regardless of political party!

How about we get back to two simple principals that my father, a man that never earned more than $15,000 a year in his life, taught me at at early age but seems incomprehensible to liberals/progressives/socialists or whatever their prefered name this week is.
If you did not earn it it's not yours.
If you can't pay for it you have no right to expect someone else to buy it for you.

Please look at past spending budgets, Under Clinton he increased the budget by 11 %. During the two terms of Bush f/y 2002 ending 2009. Bush's spending increased 104%. Bush also added 1816 new federal subsidies. This combined with the market crash has left the economy in dire straights. This is not the Obama's administrations doing. For Obama to undo all of the increased budget by President Bush , it will take more then two terms, and maybe a ten year plan. As long as don't get involved in anymore wars. It is the plan by the Republican party not to let the public know the results of last 12 years of Reaganism has been a total failure. To go back to that philosophy of little or no regulation would be a horrendous mistake for the economy.
