..."On and on the list goes. Forget what a politician says, because they always sing hosannas to growth and job creation. Look at what they do.
And look at what the government does when its money-no-object ways are threatened. Most of our current and upcoming Washington headaches can be boiled down to an inability… no, an outright refusal… to set priorities. That’s what deficit spending is all about. Uncle Sam’s income stream has virtually no relationship to his expenses. New programs require no sacrifice from the beneficiaries of existing programs; the Dependency Class is never pitted against itself. Instead, they’re pitted against taxpayers, who become their mortal enemies by resisting a deficit spending agenda that will inevitably harden into irresistible demands for higher taxes in the future. Proposals carefully cooked to appear somewhat deficit-neutral in the Congressional Budget Office’s ten-year forecast window explode into geysers of debt in the out years… and before you know it, you’ve got someone like Barack Obama explaining that we have no choice to raise the debt limit or pay higher taxes, because otherwise we’d be like deadbeat diners skipping out on our dinner checks."...
Thanks for the link. What an opportunity for the taxpayer to see our government at work or not at work as the case may be. Too bad our Congress and Pres will just kick it all down the road come Oct 17 or thereabouts.
Right..We need more money in the hands of people who will spend it rather than billionaires that hoard and hide it offshore, and we need to stop spending just about every dime we have on defense, wmd's, and all the redundant Alphabet security agencies...

Every day you post, your ignorance only astounds me more. King of the low information voters.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg made billions in media, especially business news. He later became mayor of New York for three terms. He also has donated a lot of money to anti-gun campaigns in Colorado. You learn something new every day, but I may be optimistic when discussing VL.
