THE DEMOCRATS’ ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING IS SPENDING MORE MONEY…

It’s been for a long time, I think, that most people, at least those folks who tend not to vote Democrat, have realized that Democrats have had a rather idiotic approach when it comes to what they view as being the only way to solve any of the nation’s problems. And, of course, that single solution is the spending of more and more money. And after we’ve run out of money, robbed from those who have earned it, all we need to do is to simply print more. It was Hitlery who once said that the economy always does better when there is a Democrat in White House. However, upon doing a little research there is far more evidence that it’s just the opposite that’s true.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Shri Thanedar, Michigan Democrat, argued that we can’t push for spending levels below the two-year flat level agreed to in the debt limit deal because doing so would cause a shutdown, which, according to this boob, is the last thing we need because “the American people are hurting. They’re hurting with higher prices, inflation.” And so it’s in this guy Thanedar, that we another moron focused on spend, spend, spend and tax, tax, tax. This individual is clearly unqualified for any position of leadership. It’s spending without limits that is causing inflation. And yet it continues pretty much unabated.

Thanedar said, “Well, we cannot afford to shut down the federal government. We had an agreement in May between the administration and the House to — for the debt ceiling. And we need to — we agreed to two-year flat spending. And we need to honor that agreement and continue essential services. Look, the American people are hurting. They’re hurting with higher prices, inflation. The last thing we need at this stage is toppling our economy.” He ignores completely the fact that the out of control spending by our government that has driven down the value of the dollar and is therefore responsible for the inflation that he mentions and higher prices.

And it was this dolt who went on to say, “The last thing we need here [are] these actions causing our economy to fail. We need to continue the federal services, help the poor, help the working class, and keep working on lowering the prices, lowering the inflation to ensure that [the] American people are able to take care of their families’ needs and put food on the table, get the education they need, keep the jobs that are essential, and we need to keep this economy going.” They think everything can be solved by more government spending, even when the problem is inflation, which in large part is a consequence of government spending.

Most rational people, again that would be those who do not vote for Democrats, all agree that our government is now bloated to the extreme. The government needlessly spends and wastes an astronomical amount of money. And when it can’t steal the level of revenue that it ‘needs,’ it has the luxury of creating more revenue essentially out of thin air. And it’s all of this spending of money, this wasting of money and printing of money that takes place with very little, if any, oversight. And there is plenty of blame to go around on the issue. Democrats, like Thanedar, see no need to spend less and Republicans talk about cutting spending, but that’s about it.

We’re now well beyond the point where merely the cutting of spending will get us out of the hole that our politicians, primarily Democrats, have gotten us into. We need to close down those government agencies that serve no purpose, starting with the Departments of Education, Energy and Homeland Security as well as the EPA. And the shutting down of these agencies should then to be followed by what would have to be massive cuts made to the federal budget, not phony ‘cuts’ that only reduce the rate at which spending occurs, but real spending cuts. The cuts would be effective all across government and would leave only the Department of Defense untouched.

Those of us who are responsible people understand the importance of creating and staying within a budget. Those who run businesses also recognize the need to create a budget and to remain within that budget. And they know that during difficult economic times they’re going to have to tighten their belts. But for some bizarre reason those in government are totally lost when it comes to the concept of fiscal responsibility. But that should come as no surprise, really, since it is always easier to spend someone else’s money. The government sees little need to tighten its belt, it simply imposes higher taxes and more regulations on an already suffering people.

Perhaps this moron can explain to me how the government spending more money that it doesn’t have, will somehow result in making inflation lower? Isn’t it the runaway spending that got us into this mess? One thing is clear, Democrats have not a clue regarding how things work. Clearly, it’s the idiots who are now in charge of the asylum. And so according to this brainless wonder, since the government is spending too much money they need to spend even more and everything will be just fine because the American people are suffering and it’s good for people to suffer more. Have people really become so dumb they would actually believe this?

Here’s a thought for this leftwing loon, how about fixing the problems that are causing more Americans to hurt? It isn’t a lack of spending that’s causing the problems, it is a lack of any semblance of fiscal management. If people are hurting, they spend less, they find a better job or maybe they even work two jobs. In other words carry their own weight! The government should be able to spend no more than what is it able to collect through the only means that it has, the collection of taxes and courtesy of government regulations. We are not able to print more money when we’ve spent too much, and neither should the government be able to.
