Or a combination of any or all of those.<br />I blame every Democrat politician, who knows he is destroying our republic, and therefore by definition...is a traitor.<br /><br />The truth is sometimes painful to read.Nik Faldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612344156293368237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30869306.post-31649269280165599972011-04-07T15:36:41.693-04:002011-04-07T15:36:41.693-04:00I found this article in the Sarasota observer.

Billions, trillions … w...Federal spending insanity<br /><br />Billions, trillions … whatever comes next for the federal budget. It’s all quite beyond any of us to grasp the size of the wildly out-of-control spending train in Washington, D.C. Sometimes it seems like those folks don’t live in the same reality as the rest of us.<br /><br />So we brought the numbers to the most local level — a family in Sarasota County — to show the insanity of what has been going on and continues to go on with our future. <br /><br />We took the median family income for Sarasota County and showed what household spending would look like if it mirrored the federal government’s attitude toward spending. It tells a striking tale. <br /><br />In the chart below, family “income” represents this year’s federal budget revenues; “spending” represents federal expenditures; “credit card” debt represents the federal debt; and “cuts” are the tiny reductions Republicans are desperately trying to get through in the current year’s spending. The “new spending” level is what the ever-so-slightly improved mess would look like if Republicans prevail.<br /><br />The result? If a Sarasota family making $41,957 spent like the feds, it would spend $62,600 this year while carrying $251,742 in credit-card debt. Further, the more responsible spouse among the two — which is not saying much in our example — is trying to cut $1,058, so the family is only spending $61,542. But the other spouse is fighting that cut as unaffordable.<br /><br />This is what is going on in Congress. <br /><br />The Republicans are trying to cut $60 billion, which equates to that $1,058 for our family, and the Democrats and President Obama are fighting it at every step. <br /><br />They are only up for a paltry $10 billion in cuts, which equates to $176 in our family budget. This is the context in which to listen to the Democrats calling proposed budget cuts “extreme.”<br /><br />They can’t see even to slow the insanity, preferring to play re-election politics over the good of the nation.<br />The numbers make the case, and show why doing the right thing must get our support at the polls.<br /><br />A FAMILY BUDGETS THE WAY THE FEDS SPEND MONEY<br />Income Spending Credit card Cuts New spending<br />$41,957 $62,600 $251,742 $1,058 $61,542<br />Sources: U.S. GAO, U.S. Census Bureau, Sarasota ObserverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
