Every dollar that the United States federal government spends is supported by only 57¢ in revenue. The other 43¢ is borrowed, going to increase the huge National Debt.

We have a spending problem that is so serious, the US Dollar is in danger of being dropped as the world standard.

When the Democrats scream that those evil Republicans want to end school lunch programs, pollute the environment and defund family planning, they are deflecting the discussion away from the real topic: fiscal responsiblilty.

If all the 2011 Budget limitations proposed were enacted, they would amount to about 1.6% of total federal expedatures. Federal spending has increased by 24% since Obama was elected, so the 1.6% step the other way, toward responsibility, seems absurdley small.

If you listen to the news, you are being told that it is "draconion" and "mean-spirited" and similar phrases. We need a few statesmen who will say "screw the media" and will do the right thing anyway.
