Obama's Plan to Cut Spending?

Obama seems bent on saving the average citizen (read serf) from a tax increase.  That's great.  We all like lower taxes, wherever they come from.  Of course we have a National Debt of some 16 Trillion dollars to deal with (and Obama wants the millionaires to pay it) and this president has over spent the income for the last 4 years by 1.3 Trillion dollars very year.  Now he plans to reward the elected servants of the people with a pay raise.  You read that right, a pay RAISE.  Starting with the VP and all members of both houses.  I guess everyone has done such a good job they need a bonus????  Oh yes I forgot to mention the 4 million dollar vacation for the Obamas.
Cutting the spending in Washington is the real key to our National Debt and should be very easy.  I suggest starting with a 10% cut in ALL DEPARTMENTS.  Then cut 10% from the pay of every Bureaucrat, every elected member of the House and Senate, and everyone in the White House.  After that go after Foreign Aide and stop paying those who vote against us in the UN.  Finally, speaking of the UN, drop our membership and stop supporting them and tell them to move.  I know this will not solve all the debt problem but it is a darn good start.

The Tragidy at Newtown

The man with killing on his deranged mind entered the Elementary School with a good security system and killed at will before the Police got there.  So much for 911.  He was able to accomplish this terrible act because he had the only firearms in the building, a "Firearms Free" area.  So said the sign on the door.  Those in legislative positions, who know nothing of firearms or the use of same, pass these laws establishing gun-free areas and think that solves the problem.  Honest citizens obey the law.  However the criminal mind looks at that law the same way he looks at any other; it only applies to the honest man.  The creep with killing on his mind knows that he will not be challenged by an honest citizen with a gun.  In the case of Newtown this one had enough time to kill 26 people before the first officer arrived.  When faced with an armed man the coward took his on life.  How different it could have been if the principle had been armed ( she would be alive) or the trained and armed teacher.  Think about it Washington!

America, Wake Up! Seek Ye The Truth!

You who reached the age of 80 years, and have worked since you were 15 years of age have paid into the Social Security "Trust Fund" for 65 years.  Since Trust funds always accrue interest at a most favorable rate you have every right to believe that your investment has grown.  Do you see where I am going with this?
Today you are hearing the Washington refrain, you are receiving an "entitlement".  In other words, you have your hand out for largess from the printing press in Washington.  How insulting can they get?  If the representatives of the people (who work for you, by the way) had the integrity that you have, they would return that money to the Trust Fund; problem solved!
As for Medicare, you pay every month, from your Social Security check, a portion to Medicare.  You get an "entitlement"?  Not on your life!

What Now?

The election years (2010-2012) finally over, have left us with a President who thinks he has a mandate to spend-spend-spend.  Congress and the pres. are at odds over taxes and spending.  What everyone must get into their collective heads is this:  THE PROBLEM IS NOT HOW MUCH MONEY GOES TO WASHINGTON, THAT IS AT RECORD LEVELS, BUT HOW MUCH MONEY IS SPENT!  Obama has spent more money in four years than all other presidents put together.  PRAY AMERICA!
