The c-span video that this blog links to below is yet another display of Democrat cynicism, but that is what we have come to expect. The congress just passed an appropriations bill, which they have not done for five or six years. They spend lots of time congratulating themselves, citing one another as champions who have done wonderful things, and also whining about the sequestration program that was effected a few years ago to put spending caps in place to bring some economic reality into the budgeting process.
The appropriations bill outlines how money will be spend for various programs. Democrat Dick Durbin sounds like Santa Claus as he reads off how much money they will parcel out to various programs and agencies, and it sounds wonderful. Unlike a responsible family or company, however, they do not talk about income and how much the government will actually take in. The bottom line is that government debt has more than doubled during Barack Obama’s time in office. We are now over $19 trillion in debt, and that does not include state liabilities. We will spend about $500 billion more than the government receives in this year alone. In seven years, the amount owed by every man, woman and child in this country went from $29,000 to $59,000, with no rational way to pay it back. It is simply a game that politicians play, and it could lead to the complete financial ruin of the United States in the next few years as countries and institutions who loan the U.S. the money to pay for these grandiose programs and giveaways realize they will never be paid back. They will then begin to call the debt that we will not be able to pay.
The Democrats are also very sneaky, and buried in these huge, ridiculous bills are other Democrat agenda items. Republicans are afraid to oppose them because the appropriations bill will then be held up and the GOP will be blamed for failing to fund all of these wonderful programs and for shutting down the government. The latest maneuver is truly over the top.
See the trick Democrats played by burying a new policy in the appropriations bill that will affect the women of the nation, page 2:
Wanna play? Gotta pay
Well all these women wanted all these rights and able to serve in combat operations and now don’t wanna sign up for the draft??
You wanted it, now you got it! This may not be what you want but oh well! When will the world understand there are differences between the sex! I’m not a big fan of send women in a war zone! I would never want to see family and friends put in this tough rolls!
I would love to be a DI in boot camp the first week or so and see what happens when they get treated like dogs and yelled at from day light to dark but they all cry about equal rights same pay same job some say they can do it better so I guess they will find out the first big War we get in. Everybody should serve at Least three years.
I bet the SENATES Daughters and
Grand Daughters will
Have a reason why , they don’t have
To register for a draft or they
Will have a loop hole like before
I LIKE THIS
Can they dodge the draft like Muhammad Ali did?
They’re getting what they have been demanding – equality!
Janelle Bonifas why should it be a choice just for women, They have been fighting for a long time to serve in our most elite forces if they can do that then they can sign up for the draft,don’t get me wrong to me most women can not do what most men are able to in situations especially in combat rolls,now sooner or later our elite forces are going to have to lower the standards for women because most of them can not and will not be able to pass the physical aspect of it,think of what it takes to become a Navy Seal
It is a known fact that men are physically stronger than women when it comes to brute force, men and women are different no matter what you may think. We both have attributes that the other just couldn’t do so it’s not a case of who is better than who. Some things women have to work harder at physically than men do. Men also have a thicker bone structure than women.
This whole everyone is the same shtick is getting annoying. This is one of the reasons why I think it should be mandatory for men and a choice for women aside from my first comment.
