So why is it that the federal government, in this time of economic downturn,  continue to spend like a drunken sailor when clearly their tax revenues are down?  Shouldn’t they be finding ways to cut costs, scale back, tighten the belt?  For grins, lets say I am the federal government and I have just lost 20% of my income.  Instead of cutting back and living within the remaining 80%,  I decide to spend 30% more on credit and hope that my 20% revenue comes back.  At best I’ve lost 10% and at worst I’m now 50% more in debt.  Either way you look at it, this is a lose lose solution.

Just think about California,  the state budget is heavily in the red because of down tax revenues.  The state is working to cut costs and live within their means.  They have to do this because they do not have the option of just printing more money.   Our federal government is printing us into oblivion.

If things are as bad as Mr Obama says,  shouldn’t he be bringing home the troops….stopping all aid to other countries…..cut grants…..and definitely cutting unnecessary government services?

This stimulus or should I say steal-from-us will do nothing for the economy just as the last one did nothing.  This is just our government destroying the value of our currency and taking an unchecked run at the printing presses for their own gains.

Wake up America before it is too late!
