Rick Santelli's Chicago Tea Party |
| Will we ever balance the budget? Posted: 04 Jun 2009 07:34 AM PDT It’s almost become an outlandish proposition these days. Balance the budget, you’ve got to be kidding, right? That’s for the next Administration, the next Congress, the next generation to do, or so we’re told. Fiscal responsibility is always pushed down the road, to be dealt with at a later time. But, before you know it, you’ve created $2 trillion budget deficits, over $11 trillion of national debt, and over $99 trillion of unfunded liabilities. However, there’s always some type of justification. We have to spend more to stimulate the economy. We have to spend more to prevent the onset of another Great Depression. We have to spend more to reform healthcare. We have to spend more to improve education. We have to spend more to save the environment. We have to spend more to fight terrorism. We have to spend more to fund overseas military operations. We have to spend more to rescue private industry. It goes on and on and on. Whatever happened to efficiency? Whatever happened to the phrase, “Quality, not quantity”? Whatever happened to living within our means? Would America really collapse if it stuck to a balanced budget? Over the last eight and a half years, it appears as if most Republicans and Democrats would have you think so. |
