BULLETIN!
Republican failure to make spending cuts would affect millions.
“GOP spending cuts would affect millions of people”
And?
Their addiction to federal dollars affects ALL OF US!
Should be easy with all the new hires.
Something like that. It was a program to apply for rent assistance, but the word got out that they were giving out money to help pay people's rent. They just about had riots when people in the crowd found out that all they were handing out were applications and not free money, especially because they'd been standing in line for hours.
I said at the time they needed to send somebody with a bullhorn up and down through the crowd, telling people that they were only going to get an application and not any cash. That crowd would have been cut by 90% in no time.
(GOP spending cuts would affect millions of people)
Current Federal Government spending affects millions of people causing debt that can never be repaid, hurting the economy, hurting future generations
Nice try, libs.
Of COURSE spending cuts will affect folks.
My greatest wish is that they were all libs.
Oh, wait.......
flat tax and you can all but eliminate the IRS
I just zapped the file this morning and I am not inclined to do all of the research again, but I found just under one trillion dollars that can be saved overnight.
Do away with ALL foreign aid.
Medicare fraud.
Shut down the EPA
Stop unemployment checks.
Zap obummer care
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Stuff like that would save all we need to save and would not affect any police or fire department or the armed forces.
We all know that if you cut the DOD 10%, all that would happen is that they would have to pay Lowe’s prices for hammers and toilet seats instead of $700 each.
I did not even attempt to talley the costs of bank bailouts, etc.
Me neither, other than to the Tax Man.
Better lay in some extra ammo, though, if you live near a major urban area.....the Dem voterbase will be heading to the suburbs to take what they believe that they have a "Right" to........
My little town is off the main roads.
And each Federal employee you shed saves as much money as it costs to support a half dozen people on disability as well as a couple of others on food stamps. Well paid Federal employees should be the first thing we shed, not the last.
I’m not paying
( what were you saying about the flat tax?)
While many if these discretionary programs needs cuts, or elimination, the REAL PROBLEM is SS/Medicare/Medicaid. Until we take those on, we're just providing window dressing.
My guess is that the REAL “trouble” will start when the welfare checks stop going out.
If you live in a major urban area, lock and load ‘cause I suspect when it WILL be a target-rich environment.

Someone should be looking into how many FBI agents actually chase crime and how many are accountants chasing dollars. The FBI is doing more of what the little guy in “The Untouchables” wanted than the Irish beat cop. If all those FBI accountants did anything, we would be looking at fraud convictions for the housing mess and medicare fraud. It is time for a redesign of government...that should be the job of this new congress. LINE BY LINE through the budget = shake them up.
The numbers our leaders throw around when it comes to spending to me just boggle the mind. I’d bet that if they would just eliminate the waste we could get out from under their deficit.
And...?
We can only hope so.
