I don't expect it but a President Romney and a Republican congress would do the people a great service by instituting zero-based budgeting.
Figures lie and liars figure, right?
But — spending is controlled by Congress. Yes, presidents sign off on bills and propose a budget, but the Congress reshapes and adds and twists. The pursestrings are not held by the Executive, but by the House Ways and Means Committee.
Why do we always put spending under each president rather than the majority Congressional party?
And yet, the “centrist” and “independent” morons of this country think we need a “balanced” approach to deficit reduction. Reduce the federal budget by 25% from this year’s level. Do it NEXT YEAR. Not over 10 years. We will have a recession and then the economy will boom. It happens EVERY TIME governments cut spending to balance a budget.
The graph? Look at Nutter’s photo, it’s obvious he’s a psychopath.
and America got NOTHING for it AT ALL!!! it all went to line the pockets of him and his fellow travelers...Obama’s biggest problem in this upcoming election is that if all of his media outlets proclaimed that he cut spending every year, the American public can see that is untrue by simply going shopping. People with little understanding of finance & economics are now understanding why their dollar today buys so much less (of gasoline, groceries, gold, whatever), and they are furious about it.
