Paul Ryan's proposed budget cuts ... Thanks John M and Frank D!

John M- I wonder if the amounts of each are partial or entire.  I wouldn't mind cutting all of them out entirely!  There are probably more ridculous items in there, but Paul Ryan seems to be the only one searching it out.  I feel certain that Little o won't help with his 'charm offensive'.

Sorry to burden you... but we're all in this you know.

Subject: It's HIS Fault




These facts are all public information easily checked. Don’t let the BS and theatrics confuse the issue.

PLEASE KEEP THIS ONE GOING IN HOPES THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHOSE FAULT THIS HUGE DEFICIT ACTUALLY IS!!!

B-b-b-But It's HIS Fault



The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this BULL. So once more, a short civics lesson:



Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for FY 2008 & FY 2009 as well as FY 2010 & FY 2011. (FY=fiscal year)



In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.





And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: (below)

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, including Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.



In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

There is no way this will be widely publicized unless each of us sends it on!

This is your chance to make a difference.

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IN 2,064 YEARS........................







"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,

public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be

tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should

be curtailed lest Rome becomes bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

If I had a credit limit of $142,710 I would max it out and start sending them $10 a month

and explain how unlucky I was while on vacation in Los Vegas.

What would you do?

I would just set myself down and cry, Dan!




This is the USA citizens' dilemma.



Our representative form of government has gone awry with those representing only themselves. Are there any investigative reporters in our vast army of journalists?





Leaders, where art thou?

Budget Cut in Perspective




U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000

• Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000

• New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000

• National debt: $14,271,000,000,000

• Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000

...

Let's remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:



Annual family income: $21,700

• Money the family spent: $38,200

• New debt on the credit card: $16,500

• Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710

• Total budget cuts: $385

What have we learned?

What have we learned in 2,056 years?

public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be



tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should

Evidently nothing.
