We Need Budget Cuts NOW

The federal government is out of its mind. It is spending like a drunken sailor except a drunken sailor stops spending when he runs out of money. The government just keeps borrowing and racking up more in the way of a deficit. In the month of February the federal government spent $223 BILLION dollars more than it had come in for the month. That’s right, the federal government had a bigger deficit for February than it had for the ENTIRE year of 2007.
The second biggest deficit for a month was last February and that too was on Obama’s watch.
We are working without a budget because the Democrats failed to pass one and their previous spending is entangled in everything. They have added funding to Obamacare (is that a derogatory term, well screw them), they spent nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus for which we have little to show and they continue to allow the bills to pile up.
Not to worry though. That intellectual powerhouse Michael Moore says we have plenty of money and that America is not broke.
For those of us on this planet and living in reality (as opposed to being the size of a planet and suffering from dementia like Moore) the truth is we don’t have any money. We owe more than we take in and we have a mountain of debt that equals our entire year’s GDP.
Obama has spent faster and more than nearly all the presidents in history combined and now, as his beloved pastor might say, the chickens have come home to roost.
We need to take an axe to the federal budget. We need to eliminate all duplicate programs and redundancy and we need to cut the budgets of all federal agencies. We can cut the waste first and work on the agency budgets next.
This MUST be done. Moore and the Democrats might think we have money but we do not.
The adults are in charge now and the credit card needs to be cut up. We need cuts and we need them now.
If Democrats don’t get on board then we need to cut them as well.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Sadly, so many expected change with the last election. As we can see from the current Republican proposals in Congress, there will be more of the same.
Indeed, we are out of money. I wish Congress and the president would stand up, admit it, and stop spending. I don’t mean piddly budget cuts of a billion dollars — they need to cut TRILLIONS of dollars to make any difference at all. But I know that will never happen. We’ll just keep printing more.
