Buddy keeps a "concerned eye" on the news.
Tonight I just had to burst into laughter when one congressmen said, that Obama's proposed spending freeze is like "going to a big pie eating contest and then afterward announcing you were going on a diet"....Later I learn that the cutting measures will actually cut a whopping one (yes 1) percent of the proposed budget of this administration...So basically this is just a knee jerk reaction to what happened in Massachusetts last week.
I guess it is good to know that they are at least observing what is happening with voters even though the reaction is kind of an insult of the voters intelligence. But at least they finally realize that what they have been doing is "over the top" in fiscal responsiblility. Now we wait till summer and see what the candidates have to say and then we do our duty as we see it in the ballot booth.
It is hard to believe that it took a year for the populace to start to notice that all this promised wonderment was being purchased by dollars that we really don't have... It has been something to watch unfold these last 18 months from the time these wild promises were made and wildly applauded until the chickens finally came to roost...
You know really government can not operate indefinately spending more than it takes in, any more than a business or even a family can, we all know that but these clowns, I don't think really get it...I really don't think they do, to them it is disney land and everyone just lives happily ever after. Especially if you can give unlimited amount of money to the less fortunate and lay the bill at the American tax payers door...But actually not because the plan is to borrow it instead and then lay the bill plus excessive interest at the door of our children and grandchildren...Now that is if we are even solvent at that point in time..The reason of course that we can not operate this way as a business or a family is the lender eventually says NO.... But in this case of government spending, we are the lender, and we someday soon here better "buck up", and just say no and we do that at the ballet box by who we send to Washington.....Sometimes I just shake my head and wonder how in the world it will all turn out and if 5 years from now we will still have the nation we all love.
