With the Federal Debt rising daily, American's are calling for the spending to stop, yet liberal lawmakers refuse to stop the bleeding.Too stubborn to admit the stimulus didn't work and unwilling to make the cuts necessary for the country to survive, just reinforces the need to replace these ignorant people.

The GOP needs to stand their ground and not cave in to these thugs. It is time for the house and senate to listen to the people and force the cuts and demand a balanced budget. The rest of the country has to live on a budget and so should Washington.

In my humble opinion the first place to start cutting is with the salaries of our lawmakers. They made the bold decision not to give a cost of living raise to Social Security, yet voted a raise for themselves.When many of our lawmakers are multi-millionaires it is repugnant to me that they even take a salary. Many Corporate boards pay $1.00 per year for members to sit on them. If these people want to serve and have the power and prestige of holding office, then it should be gratis. It is ridiculous to pay people who obviously don't need the income. This isn't any crazier idea than congress expecting the rich to pay the bulk of the taxes, just because they can't quit spending.

I think the first cuts should come from the White House. Obama needs to lose his CZARS. What the heck do they do anyway, besides kiss his butt! And Michelle.....p l e a s e!!!!!! What does she do that is so important it takes 26 people to do it? Is this just a way of buying friends? The constant vacations need to be stopped, and is it too much to ask that Air Force One is only used for government business and not for unnecessary photo ops and goofy summits that he creates in lieu of staying in DC and getting his job done. Must he have that plane out of the hanger everyday?

Then they need to start chopping. Get rid of NPR,EPA,NEA,FTC,FCC,DOE,SEC,IRS,NLRB and cut all the duplicate programs.I can't think of a single turtle that can read a sign leading it to a tunnel to cross the road safely. Don't know who would be enriched with a teapot museum, why update the utilities at a shopping mall that has been out of business for 10 years.Repave runways for an airport that only has 4 flights per day, ridiculous.Free bike helmets given out at a wealthy neighborhood in NY city.A cowboy poetry festival, a favorite of Dem Leader Reid. Can't overlook shrimp on a treadmill,or honey bees in Chili. Oil drilling in Brazil, study of gays using condoms in China. HOW DO THEY COME UP WITH ALL THE STUPID WAYS TO SPEND OUR MONEY?

The problem is that the people in Congress don't live here in the real world with the rest of us poor slobs who struggle day to day just to put food on the table. They probably don't have a clue what a loaf of bread costs or how much braces or glasses cost the average parent.How to stretch a dollar when you have only enough for bills and you can't fill a Rx. These millionaires, who voted themselves a raise.....JUST DON'T GET IT.
