Cut Government Spending, Not Our Paychecks

When I was a little girl, we had a few toys. But we had enough.  This layout shows me with my doll and stroller I got for my third birthday.  We lived on a lot less than children do today.  World War II was being waged in Europe.

If things keep going backwards like they have the last couple of years, we will again have to live on much less.

As the spendthrifts in our government continue to add to our debt and tax us more and more, we need to have a tighter grip on our wallets.   We have less to spend and prices are higher.  That is called inflation, in case you didn't know.  When we are told there has been  no inflation in the last two years, it is an out and out lie.  They mess with the numbers to try to prove their point, but just go shopping.  Everyone uses fuel and eats food.  Check out the gas pump, your utility bills and the grocery store.  You ARE spending more money and getting less product.

Now that Republicans ( money wise) are in congress, we intend to cut the budget. No, not Medicare or Social Security as the Dems would have you believe.  But there could be a 10% budget cut across the board.  This is not something I've dreamed up, but a plan Rush Limbaugh has discussed on his talk radio program.  (I know 'talk radio' is a bad word these days.  It isn't PC to say you listen, but I'm not frightened into a corner by all that rhetoric.)

Rush advises cutting Obamacare to save several trillion. Then we could do away with all stimulus spending and TARP.  We could sell 20% of the land the federal government owns, which is about 25 % of all the land we have. We could cut the number of government vehicles,   reduce office space, cut government salaries, cut the EPA, the FDA, the FCC.  We could get rid of any office headed by czars.  These people get paid by our taxes, but are accountable to no one. but the president.   Oh my, that is just a start.  There's much more that can be done and all of it would better our country in more ways than just reducing our debt.

If you get a chance, listen to Rush on the radio, heard in most places between 12:00 noon and 3PM week days. Listen and see if you agree or not.  Don't believe what you hear said about him.  LISTEN for yourself. Think for yourself.  Judge for yourself.
