Also, stop spending money you DO have.
Too many whine groups on the gravy train. And they’ll never take less, even if it’s a matter of national survival.
Oh they have it all right - it’s yours and mine.
Saturday Night Live (back when it was funny) did a skit on this with Steve Martin and Amy Pohler.
Gotcha.
No 5.6M for border wall.
Done.
Anything else.
/trololol
Democrats can get any spending they want. All they have to do is threaten to shut down the government, the media will just blame Repubs and Trump for it. So they have to give them everything they want.
The spending just gets worse and worse and worse.
Nearly as bad under Republicans as when Democrats run the show.
And yet the wheels are not coming off, and show no signs of coming off anytime soon.
Which is why when you try and explain to young socialists that we can’t afford to give them free healthcare/tuition/childcare/insert favorite goodie here they think that we are crying wolf.
Because the surpluses were HUGE when the Rs had both chambers under BUSH AND TRUMP.
come on man.
They’re way past pump priming as an excuse to spend. Keynes is passé. Yes, spend more in bad times but in good? Why that’s an opportunity to spend more!
Now a days it’s more like economic masturbation with these Keystone Keynesians. Spending is their porn and power their aphrodisiac.
Try asking your representatives to tell the young people in their state that they will have to pay the debt and its carrying cost. Also, what is there plan to repay the debt? No answer.
LOL. The Govt. can't even slow down the increase of deficit spending much less reverse it. How long can you sustain spending a trillion dollars + of imaginary money ever year?
I just wonder what they’d all do if suddenly they were faced with the National Debt l coming due all at once! Then we’d see exactly what “essential spending” is!
Would they cut the military to keep the welfare benes going?
I could solve the problem of over spending if they would give me a LARGE Grant to study the problem.
Wow, no one has ever suggested this before.
Nearly 77% of the spending goes to just three programs: Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
I don’t think Congress is going to make any cuts to these programs.
Congress BUYING VOTES WITH TAXPAYER MONEY.....so, “spending” isn’t an issue for them.
