Please take a minute to listen to Connie Mack's proposal to reduce spending by 1% per year, ultimately balancing the federal budget by the year 2019...
I've got a better idea... What do you say we cut it by 10% per year and get out of this mess 10 times sooner... In the last big meltdown that was diverted by the last continuing resolution, they were poised to furlough 800,000 nonessential federal employees... HELLO, just exactly what part of nonessential don't you understand? We have enough waste and duplication in the federal government that if cut completely would have us well under way to getting our budget balanced and eventually getting rid of the national debt...
Please don't misunderstand me, Congressman Mack is an excellent conservative representative and I've voted for him as well as his father... The point I'm trying to make is that we're in really deep Doo Doo and it's going to take drastic measures to get us out of this mess... I much prefer biting the bullet now than risk losing everything as our country spends its way into oblivion...

I hadn't heard Mack's proposal. 1% sure doesn't seem like a lot, but to those guys up on Capitol Hill it will probably be impossible. It will be interesting to see how far he gets with it.
ReplyDeleteCutting 1% is better than growing 15%. That is basically what they have been doing. They call growing "only" 14% a cut. It's "Washington speak" and "We The People" need to understand that. Mack's proposal is in the right direction, but like you, I would like more.
ReplyDeleteBro,
ReplyDeleteHow about the old deal a penny a day doubled! That would balance the budget far faster than ten years!
