You and your anti-democracy accomplices have made it very clear that they certainly include gifts of trillions to the needy of Wall Street and the struggling, overtaxed billionaires of the plutocracy and, lest we forget, foreign banks.
However, through some unintentional oversight I'm sure, it seems there is no consideration in your plans for the well being of the Working People of America; to Promote the General Welfare.
In fact, judging by your pronouncements and actions, it would seem undeniable that your intention is to transform America into a third world country and the American Worker into a new slave caste.
Congress should not base spending cuts on the spending spree levels of the past two years. I support capping federal discretionary spending at fiscal year (FY) 2008 levels. I am a cosponsor of S. 360, the Honest Expenditure Limitation Program (HELP) Act, legislation introduced by Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), that would save $1 trillion by maintaining spending at these levels through 2020.
Spending spree?
You are apparently suffering from selective amnesia since you have obviously "forgotten" the eight years prior to the election of Mr. Obama.
That's not to say the president has lived up to the hopes We the People had for him. Since he has worked so diligently to advance the agenda of right-wing extremism and corporate fascism, I fail to understand why you all make such a show of your feigned contempt for him.
But then, I suppose, the show must go on.
Oh. I almost forgot. He's not 100% white is he?
S 360 is an obscenity;
"A BILL
To reduce the deficit by establishing discretionary spending caps for non-security spending. (c) Non-Security Spending- In this section, the term "non-security discretionary spending" means discretionary spending other than spending for the Department of Defense, homeland security activities, intelligence related activities within the Department of State, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and national security related activities in the Department of Energy."
Let us reduce that paragraph, actually the entire document, to its essence; The unholy trinity of Empire Building, Wars of Aggression and Death for Profit may not be curtailed for any reason.
This is yet another step in stealing the last crumbs of remaining wealth from the working people of America that it may be redistributed upward to the parasitic aristocracy of which you apparently imagine you will be a member.
Nevertheless, with our nation facing a projected $1.6 trillion budget deficit for this year, capping discretionary spending and eliminating wasteful spending will not be enough. I am a cosponsor of S.J.Res. 10, an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require a balanced federal budget. Under this amendment, introduced by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and co-sponsored by the entire Senate Republican Conference, total spending could not exceed total revenues for any given year, and also could not exceed 18 percent of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States.
S.J.Res.10 is an unconstitutional abomination.
