I'll go for that, let's start with ending donations to ILLEGALS, The U.N., France, Canada, Mexico, Africa, and just about every other country that wants our money but continues to bash us at every turn.

2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she favors rolling back the Bush tax cuts to fund reconstruction efforts in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Asked where the money to rebuild the city should come from, Mrs. Clinton told NBC's "Today Show": "It comes from the first instance in not making those tax cuts for rich people like us permanent." "Let's get back to shared sacrifice," Clinton insisted, defending her tax hike plan. "Let's take care of each other. Let's plan for the future. Let's do what is necessary to put Americans first again."
Mrs. Clinton has consistently argued for a tax hike ever since she was elected to the Senate.
Last year she told a San Francisco audience: "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
In 2003 Clinton argued for a tax hike to pay for the Iraq war.
In Nov. 2001, the former first lady blamed the 9/11 attacks on the Bush tax cuts, telling CNN: "If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today."
I'll go for that, let's start with ending donations to ILLEGALS, The U.N., France, Canada, Mexico, Africa, and just about every other country that wants our money but continues to bash us at every turn.
is that your proposal cut the pay of all federal employees?
what if we cut your pay... or took it away all together. How hard are you going to work?
How is the Hurricane an atrocity?
I know the Iraq war isn't.
please come out and defend your comments.
No.
My post was spurred by my frustration. Why must the government always think first about spending more rather than cutting spending in areas where it doesn't belong?
It wasn't directed towards Katrina or the War.
However, I think you could have come up with some better areas to cut. Try the Department of Education, Public Broadcasting and the U.S. Geological Survey for starters.
