Sarah has more courage than any of them. The more I pay attention to politics, the more upset I get.
What, by this action, was done with the Federal budget:
.
A family with income of $26,000 a year is spending $38,000. (Add eight zeroes to each of those figures and you have the federal budget.)
.
The so-called man of the house tells his family, We cant go on like this. Our credit cards are near their limit, and soon we wont even be able to pay the interest on them. We need to spend less, so lets cut spending this year by $630 to $37,370
.
After a few days of conflict at home, he cant bear the pressure. He goes back to his family and sheepishly tells them he will be satisfied if they cut spending by only $390, and that he will accept the family spending $37,610.
.
Why should we have any confidence Republican leaders will have the courage to address the remaining $11,600 in my example (multiplied by 100 million in the federal budget) when they cant hold out even a weekend over a lousy $240 that won’t even begin to address the problem?
.
Im thoroughly disgusted with not just them, but my supposedly conservative Congressman that voted them into positions of leadership. Why give majorities to Republicans when the allow Democrats to dictate the agenda and the results on any issue of consequence?
She quit.
Something about not wanting to be a lame duck. How can you be a lame duck if you still have 16 months left in your term?
