The Reality:

The problem -- jobs
The solution -- The debt crisis. Shrink government, lower taxes, cut regulation. Watch the economy grow and revenue increase.

How Washington sees it:

The problem -- the debt crisis
The solution -- showboat and grandstand and position yourself to be re-elected to your job. Screw the little people and their silly jobs.

The problem is that when you shrink government, it means you reduce government jobs and jobs in the private sector that support the government. And that would play havoc with the unemployment rate.

The leech we call the government has become so big that if you kill it, you kill the host.

Or to put it bluntly, Washington has been spending our future for decades and the “future” is now here...

Until they stop spending our future things will only get worse.

Borrowed spending is spending your future before it gets here.

In addition these idiots keep screaming we have to “spend for the future” calling it “investing in the future”... Well you can’t spend or invest for the future when what you are spending is your future through borrowed dollars.
