When will the American people wake up to government spending? Why do so many Americans believe it is their responsibility to cover the spending habits of Congress? I guess the first question should be, do most Americans know Congress holds the purse strings?
If more Americans understood economics 101, they would realize Congress is using the taxpayers money to remain in power. A lesson in economics will be given at a later time. For now, we must realize that "bringing home the bacon" benefits the politicians first, and a very select few second. The majority of the constituents are paying for this shell game, and they are so unaware, they continue to vote the same grifters into office. I guess a fool and his money...
Americans must be educated in economics, the Constitution, and the role of the Federal Government. Not how to put a condom on a cucumber. Among many enemies, we are fighting against socialism in this country. If you are unaware of the definition of socialism, it is a government that controls the power, production, and distribution means. If you believe this is for you, take a look at western Europe.
