Does Anybody in Washington Know what the word Cut Means?

Republicans are ecstatic over Boehner's deal to avert a government shutdown. Tea Partiers rave over Ryans's budget proposal. And today, Obama proposed a plan that would add $4 trillion dollars to the national debt over the next 12 years.

These plans have two things in common:

Every one of them, even Ryan's "extreme" budget, results in increased spending every year, more borrowing every year, and an increase in the federal debt every year, and every one of them is touted as a"spending cut."

Only in Washington can increased spending and debt be called a budget cut.

Do they really think we're that stupid?

Are we?

It is the job of government to protect its members from the actions of others. It is not the job of the government to protect its members from their own actions. That's the difference between being a citizen and a subject.

Bible Verse of the Day

“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
