If they got rid of baseline budgeting it would go a long way towards getting spending under control. No more automatic increases. If congress wants more money for something they have to get off their butts and pass legislation for it. Continuing resolutions would only fund at the previous years level.
Right! No more automatic increases.
The best way to decrease Federal spending is to REDUCE the National Debt Limit each CALENDAR year.
Politicians can ignore, extend, or otherwise spindle THEIR Fiscal Year, but the Calendar is immutable at exactly 365.25 days per year.
To begin, we need to demand that Boehner set a PERMANENT National Debt Limit of, say 17.83 Trillion Dollars.
If WE do not demand that a PERMANENT Cap be placed on our National Debt as part of the negotiation on the ABOLISHMENT of Obamacare, then it NEVER would occur to our Esteemed Congressional RINOs !
