Budget Battle--Pork Train Out of Tracks or Not? You Decide

It's Not Just About Money
In government shutdown over budget battle did you know Obama has the perogative on what to close or not close down as he decides what is necessary to this nation and what is not? So if you are in the military and warnings are being sent that there may be problems with your check--it makes you wonder how the Pres values this branch of government and really the nation's defense?
The budget that the Pres says must be passed now should have been passed before October 1st 2010. But repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) and other things for his backers were of a higher priority--so why all the theatrics now? Of course, it's a power play and posturing for 2012.
When you look at the facts and the stats, a simple person can't help but know the piggy bank is broke. But the Pork Train according to the Democrats have more traction while the Republicans are saying there are no more tracks and we are going to fall off the cliff just any moment.
Food for thought(study links for yourself):
- Medicare will go broke by 2018 (that's from a Washington Post article dated 2006).
- The White House isn’t telling seniors about ObamaCare’s $575 billion in cuts to Medicare that will make it harder and harder for them to find a doctor. Or that all seniors with a Medicare Part D prescription plan will be facing higher premiums in the coming years, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
- Social Security Will Go Bankrupt in 2011 According to CBO Projections
- US Cost of War in Libya up to 75 million as of Tues April 5th...(Times)--why are we in it?
- Yearly Cost of Illegal Immigration to US is 29 Billion and another 84 Billion by state and local gov
Those are just a few of the expenditures for this now gigantic federal government which from its foundation to 1989 only had a total national debt at 2 trillion.
Obama inauguration--national debt was:
$10,626,877,048,913
as of April 6,2011--national debt was:
$14,259,761,986,880
Obama so far has spent:
$3,632,884,937,967
George Bush 8 yrs of spending was:
$4,899,100,310,609
And to hear the Harry Reid call the Republicans reckless in their budget proposal is like the pot calling the kettle black as truth be known they've been reckless with the budget for a very long time and their concerns are more for their cronies or backers in the next election than the budget for the government. Hope the people will see the truth and let them know how they feel (Congress 202-224-3121).
And last but most importantly--remember what is passed will affect us spiritually as well. When laws affirm the killing of more innocent babes, indoctrination of childrens' innocent minds away fro God and panels that decide who lives and dies--I don't think we can wash our hands like Pontius Pilate on these important matters. Get informed and involved in honoring the blessings of God to live in this land and may it stay free and home to the brave.
