There Are None So Blind...............
.........as those who refuse to see. This "tug of war" going on in D.C., is NOT about "Obama vs. Boenner." It is about Obama vs the American people.
Boenner has no choice but to stand firm, whether he wants to or not. The man has the foot of the voters on the back of his neck. Basically, if he "caves', he's gone, and so are the 60 seats he gained last year. ("We voted 'em IN----we can vote 'em OUT just as well"). John Boenner is well aware of WHO he works for. The Democrats have still not figured that out, and they will pay some MORE next year.
Unemployment has now inched up to 9.2 from 9.1.............64% of American businesses have said they do NOT intend to hire with higher taxes looming. Obama is INSISTING on tax hikes, and nobody's talking about "proper cutting"
Cutting into AMERICAN entitlements is NOT "proper cutting." Stopping all the handouts to FOREIGN COUNTRIES.......now THAT would be "proper cutting." Yet nobody has mentioned that....not even the Republicans, and THAT is disturbing.
STOPPING THE HANDOUTS TO ILLEGALS would save TENS of MILLIONS, and probably BILLIONS in the long run just by itself!
There is no balanced budget amendment on the table, and there hasn't BEEN a "budget" in nearly TWO YEARS now!.......and WHO'S been RUNNING this show??
I've never understood the liberal mind.....nor do I want to.
If you were out of work, living on what little savings you might have left, 6 or 7 months behind in your home mortgage payments......the LAST thing you'd do, is go into debt for a new Lincoln and MAX your credit cards out to go on a CRUISE.
You....your family......PERSONALLY, could NOT "spend your way out of debt." To SURVIVE, you'd HAVE to cut back until you can get some more money coming in from another job or something.
If you're a Democrat.......YOUR GOVERNMENT doesn't see it that way.......of course, they don't have to "budget" THEIR own money.......they have OURS to play with.
If you're a liberal parent, you wouldn't allow some stranger into your home and dictate to YOU what foods to prepare for your own children.......so why is it ok for your government to start coming into the PUBLIC SCHOOLS......and not only dictate what the kids can eat, but in a few cases already.....FORBID the parents to allow their kids to BRING THEIR OWN LUNCHES FROM HOME anymore!
Do you NOT think that's "invasive?"
You give your teenager an allowance. Your teen blows it the first day partying, instead of using it for gas in his car that YOU ALSO bought for him. So you bump his allowance up a little more and caution him about putting a few dollars aside each week so he can at least keep his auto insurance paid when IT comes around.
Instead, he goes out with his friends, blows it on "designer clothes"....still has to hit YOU up for gas money, and complains that his allowance STILL isn't enough for his "needs."
(When YOU were a kid, YOU had to show a little "responsibility" from time to time)..........but this is 2011 now......YOUR values & ethics are outdated..........and he wants even MORE every week.
If you're ANY kind of a parent, you're going to put your foot down and say "NO." "You learn to BUDGET WHAT YOU GET......just like your Mom & I have to!"
Well...........in our "adult" world (and I use that term "adult" loosely).........what we don't GIVE this government---they already TAKE through the tax system. And what do THEY do with it?
Have you libs out there ever REALLY thought about that? It's not just REPUBLICAN tax money they blow......it's YOURS TOO........
Just like with that "teenager", the government continues to "party" with money they NEVER WORKED FOR." They continue to GIVE IT AWAY to foreign countries, lobbyists, college grants to study crap no one will ever use, etc................just as fluently as our "teen" blows HIS on booze, smokes, friends, $200.00 Nike's......etc., and then just like the White House....asks for MORE "revenue", but NO CUTS in his "OWN PROGRAMS."
.......and the White House has had the NERVE to call the AMERICAN PEOPLE-----"GREEDY!" When was the last time YOU took YOUR kids to London, just for "fish & chips?"
The people who gave Boenner his House majority, and handed him "Pelosi's old gavel", have made it plain to him to tell this government....
"NO!.........NO MORE...........we're gonna be at FIFTEEN shortly, and they STILL show no spending restraints, and just want MORE MONEY that they won't account for either.........HEAR OUR VOICE, JOHN, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT GAVEL AND MAJORITY."
Yes, I think Mr Boenner understands who HE works for.
He'd BETTER anyway.
