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:
with this move the senate is going to get a lot of women killed, shame on the senate for this disgrace.
Your in the army niw
So many things wrong with this cover photo…
My parents were both in the military-never once in my mind did I want to be in the military, both also forbid me to join, mainly because wars today aren’t fought for freedom-they are fought for money…I appreciate all that our men and women do who fight for this country, but I have never been one to say women are equal to men-We aren’t…we carry babies in our belly for 9 months and go through childbirth-I don’t believe in the pay gap-but I believe that a mothers job is the most important thing in the world-everyone has a mother-also no woman can sit in a fox hole for a month or actually do combat mission-we go through menstruation-my mother said combat roles are a social experiment that will lead to death, this is also a social experiment to desensitize the sex roles.
Congratulations you women libers.
I agree RJ, but both of my parents were in the military…I say women who are pushing for this “liberals/morons” sign up…wait…sore that won’t happen-no movie stars kids or politicans will have their kids going…
Wow, Nancy Peck, u COMPLETELY misunderstood what RJ was saying. Maybe go back and reread what he said. Maybe then u will get it.
AMERICAN women DO serve our country. U need to go to back to school to understand the words u read.
