I weighed 200 pounds going into the holiday season. Unfortunately, with the numerous holiday feasts I was sure I had packed on 10 pounds by the end of the holiday season. When I stepped on the scales again I found out I weighed only 206. Under the government accounting principles and with the magic of baseline budgeting I could claim to have lost 4 pounds! I think it’s great.
That makes better sense; thanks.
Obama is corruptly giving money to things he wants to grow, and taking it from things that don’t make his cronies rich.
At some point the government should be cut back to constitutional functions: Eliminate departments of Agriculture, Labor, Education, HUD, Health and Human Services as a start. Certainly the Framers were familiar with the concepts of Agriculture, Labor, Education, Housing, Health, and gave the federal government no enumerated powers in those fields.
If the people wanted such powers and roles they could either have states perform them, or recommend their representatives amend the constitution to add those powers.
Agreed.

We should SEQUESTER each and every “representative” /sarcasm and cut their pay, their medical, their retirement, their staff, their travel, their face-time, their lobbyists, their contributors, their benefits, etc., etc.
