You are now hearing the spin from the ideologues on both sides of the aisle about their cost consciousness and desire to restrain spending. It’s all a load of bull. Bush and the Republicans added $4.3 trillion to the National Debt during their reign of error. Obama has matched Bush in the space of 2 1/2 years by adding another $4.3 trillion. There is no effort to cut spending. Obama’s budget shows spending rising from $3.7 trillion in FY12 to $5.7 trillion in FY21. The propaganda and misinformation being spewed from these corrupt politicians is mind numbing.

Again, some perspective is needed to realize how out of control our Federal Government has become. According to the BLS, inflation has risen by 33% since 1999. Real GDP has grown by 23%. The population of the U.S. has grown by 10%. The number of employed Americans has risen by 1.8%. The average pay for a Federal drone (aka worker) has risen by 58%, while the average pay for real workers has risen by only 30%. Therefore, the average non-government employee has seen a decrease in their standard of living as inflation has risen faster than wages. As you can calculate yourself, Federal government spending surged by 124% between 1999 and today. Have you noticed a doubling in service level, competence, educational scores, new energy solutions, or safety and security? What did we get for an extra $2.1 trillion of spending?

Cut Congressional spending and cut their god-damned inflated salaries, too! Typical bureaucratic stupidity...the "people" must make sacrifices but the princes and princesses of Congress do not! It's the sme with state government, too...nobody talks about cutting the lawmakers' salaries or their benefits, but they sure can sock it to the 'people."

***nobody talks about cutting the lawmakers' salaries or their benefits,

I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods, but here in this nightmare, you'll never get a one of these bastards, to answer a question either.

...if you can get them in front of a fucking camera to begin with!!

...the levee's gonna break!!

...I can just feel it in the wind!!
