As children our parents clothed us, fed us and loved us and
we were happy. When we vote we hire politicians as our new parents. Politicians
are not parents. Today as reported on DRUDGE per the Bureau of Labor: AMERICANS SPEND MORE ON
TAXES THAN FOOD, CLOTHING COMBINED.
Politicians come up with ideas for our community’s diet providing what they think,
or we think, we need. They pass budgets and bills to lay out a menu of items
that some want. They provide Grants, School aid, Health care, planned for us.
When catastrophe strikes they provide financial assistance to the victims and
the special interest groups. Along with that opened pocket book there is the
PORK stuffed into assistance bills and budgets.
When Sandy hit our
state the Federal Government established the bill for the victim’s relief. According
to Ted Cruz, Senator (R) from Texas, he voted against the Sandy Relief bill
because he claimed it was loaded with pork. True or not the spending measures
from our Congress usually have PORK. It is the method that politicians use to
finance pet parochial projects. Some are good, and some are a waste.
For
fiscal responsibility our constitution might need amendments; ‘Balanced
Budget Amendment’ and ‘Term Limits’. Politicians cross the aisle so that as
Congresspersons (D/R) they will get reelected for bringing home the bacon. Our
National debt is out of site but the denizens of the DC swamp only know they
want to spend, keep on spending.
