Bad Congress, BAD!

Debt, BAD!

No DEBT!  Bad Congress!

Stick your hand out.  Now, Smack it!  Bad Congress!

Okay, now that I got that out…

I am tired of the frivolous spending in Washington (DC, just to be clear).  Basic Financial sense says if you bring “X” then you can only spend “X”.  I could be wrong, but that is how I manage my money.  Now, I fully understand the need to support a military (provide for the common defence) and a CIA (provide for the common defence), I can even understand the FBI, Justice Department, and much more of the necessary government operations that provide for the common defence of our 50 States and many territories. 

The problem begins when goverment meant to manage begins to control.  Federal Government exists solely to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” (Quotations from the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America)

I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about how much wasteful spending our Congress continues to flush down the proverbial toilet.  It is really a simple concept that congress needs to get:

     Money in needs to be greater than money out.  If you ensure that this is the case then you will never have a deficit.

Another concept for our illustrious congress:

     Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
