Spin Zone / Re: Six-Month Federal Budget Deficit: $1.1 Trillion
« on: April 17, 2024, 06:27:24 AM »CR, after CR, after CR. It will never stop. The control of the purse has been wrested away from the House and is currently in control of the Senate. Everything requires more spending and more Federal employees thus more spending.
Unconstitutional, but like everything else, they don't care. If it's not apparent now, the government including our elected "representatives" hate us. The largest government in the world, and much of it unconstitutional working against the good of the citizens.
The FISA vote shows how much they hate us. CR's are never going away as it makes it too easy for the congress and senate to rob the treasury in broad daylight.
Just imagine if we cut out discretionary spending and only allotted money that was needed (defense, etc). No more earmarks. Also, real spending cuts. Get rid of unnecessary agencies such as Dept of Education, Dept of Energy, EPA, TSA, etc.
The economy would boom.
We desperately need an Article V convention of states.
