Well, it should be clear to all by now, that neither party is serious about cutting spending. We the people have been warning the politicians for decades that their big spending would lead us to bankruptcy. Well, guess what. We're nearly there. Obama has spent and committed more money than all of the presidents before him and now we're broke and will have problems borrowing more. Our credit rating will be hit, interest rates will rise, cost of government will soar even higher.

No matter what they say, we're in a deep recession. Millions of people unemployed. Businesses cutting back or shutting their doors. Too risky to invest or make long term plans. Too risky to expand or hire new employees. People everywhere are having to do with less, much less.

And our politicians are wringing their hands having no idea what to do about it. They're tossing one bill after another out there, but none of them do diddly squat about addressing the problem.

IT's THE SPENDING, STUPID!! And the solution is to CUT THE SPENDING, STUPID!!

CUT IT!! CUT IT DEEP!! CUT IT NOW!!

We the people have had to cut our spending, now it's time for the big spending government to cut theirs!!

It's time to shutter entire departments! It's time to cut the payroll! Cut the pensions! Cut the bennies! Strip the unconstitutional and unnecessary departments and programs!! Cut the bloated government! Bring our troops home! Abolish the EPA!! Abolish the TSA!! Abolish and shutter as many ABC departments as we possibly can!! REPEAL OBAMACARE!! ObamaCare is totally unnecessary, unwanted and unconstitutional. Pure socialist pork! REPEAL IT!! REPEAL IT NOW!!

When the government does these things, then we'll know they are serious!

Until then, a pox on the whole lot!

Call your congressional reps today and demand that they do not raise the debt ceiling under any circumstances whatsoever!! We're deep enough in debt already!! CUT THE SPENDING, DAMMIT!!

And if they refuse, vote the corrupt, big spending, business as usual bastards OUT!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Go, TEA party!!

Oh, yeah, and please continue supporting FR if you can. We need FR in this fight, NOW more than ever!!

Nahh, you got it all wrong - its not CUT THE SPENDING STUPID, its CUT THE STUPID SPENDING.

Or maybe its just CUT THE STUPID, but then the halls of Congress would be all sad and empty...

No White House Recession: Obama’s 454 Staffers Cost Taxpayers $37,121,463

According to a report in the New York Post, President Obama’s White House employs 454 people with an annual cost of $37,121,463.

The administration can point to the fact that there are 15 fewer people on the payroll this year, representing a savings of $1.7 million dollars a year. (***For the record, Czars (personal search: as of 2009= 47) are excluded from this list.)

But, within those numbers are some very interesting facts worth mentioning:

Obama’s 454 employees beats George W. Bush’s 447.

Obama’s crew also costs taxpayers $4 million dollars per year MORE than Bush’s, 13% more.

Also among the current White House staffers, 21 of them are earning the maximum allowed of $172,200 (very close to what Senators and Congressmen earn)

Almost one in three makes $100k.

" There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government. Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become. And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it. When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is take away the people's weapons. It makes it so much easier for the secret police to operate, it makes it so much easier to force the will of the ruler upon the ruled."

I’ve often wondered what would happen if we massed a million souls on capitol hill, and then surrounded and shut down the Capitol, and the hut too if we had enough folks. How would they remove us?
