Deficit commission to be formed by administration to recommend cuts two years from now. Wow there’s a political cover if I ever saw one. Are you telling me that our elected officials have thrown in the towel and are admitting they cannot do the job they were elected to do? You know make the hard decisions, like cut spending and manage the budget of this government. Are you telling me that the solution is to form a so called bipartisan committee, with no authority to implement changes? This is the only answer? Yes, I remember the Grace commission, yes a lot of changes were implemented and had a very good effect. Perhaps this is the answer, perhaps the government is so dysfunctional a committee is required, but will any changes come in time? Will the government implement them?
Have you read last years stimulus bill? This administration is touting how wonderful it was, it saved 2 million jobs. Recovery.gov shows that North Dakota and Washington got some jobs, yes the Federal employment rate is reaching 3 million. This bill was loaded with money for liberal agenda items that do nothing to create jobs or an economic environment for business to create jobs. I have posted several examples of this bills waste of tax dollars and you can read the bill for yourself if you doubt me.
I believe this President is creating political cover when he speaks of nuclear power and an $800 billion loan guarantee, how do you guarantee a loan when you are broke, it’s like co-signing for someone when your credit score is 400. It’s laughable. A nuclear power plant will never be built in my lifetime, just look a the lefts reaction to this announcement. Look at the regulations, look at the problem with storing the waste and look at the water resources required for cooling. Never going to happen, just a nice political statement saying, well I tried.
The deficit needs to be reduced, the $500 plus billion not spent in the stimulus could cut that in about half, the waste fraud and abuse in the medicare, medicaid and social security programs could further reduce that deficit, new social programs need to be put on hold and current programs need to be eliminated or cut. This all could be done by our elected officials this year and followed next year by additional reductions in spending. Tax increases only go to further allow our elected officials to waste our money. If a politician sees a tax dollar they will spend it on new programs, therefore if any tax increases are implemented they must go to the deficit along with cuts, across the board. The deficit is a serious problem as is the total federal budget, both must be reduced.
The administrations shift to “jobs” is a political move, the administrations is not showing any real movement to improve the economy as demonstrated by its continuing support of liberal agenda items, such as the current health care reform bill and a new stimulus bill. I say you cannot BS the American public any longer.
