A couple months ago I had a really fun conversation with Jason Malwitz about government spending and how things have gotten out of control.  One of my strongest opinions is that there is no need for the government to spend anywhere near as much as they do because it only means we have excessive programs and bureaucracy that probably doesn’t need to exist.

Well, it looks like things are getting better, huh?  Big corporate bailouts haven’t worked at all, yet we continue to thing the bailout mentality, or the idea of pumping more money into the system will fix things.  Now we’re talking about Obama’s “Economic Stimulus” plan, which is nothing like a stimulus and everything like an excuse to grow government.

Even if you agree that spending needs to occur, did you know that this is the biggest spending bill ever presented and that it hasn’t gone through a single sub-committee in congress?  Normally these kinds of spending packages are talked about ad nauseum for months before they are approved so that we know we are doing thing properly and responsibly…  I know that Obama says this needs to happen quickly so that we can start healing the economy, but did you know that hardly any of this money will be spent in the next couple of years, and that only a small percentage of the plan has anything to do with economic stimulus?

This plan is all about growing the size of government and performing political favors for people who helped get Obama into office.  This is incredibly irresponsible and it is bankrupting our American future.  It is immoral to put this burden on the younger generations, and I am pretty certain that Ronald Reagan is turning in his grave…

Email your local senator and demand that they vote against Obama’s spending bill.  We can still stand up as voices of opposition!  I don’t think anyone out there who really understands what is going on can feel warm and fuzzy about how much tax payer money is going to be thrown down the drain!

And how will this all be paid for?  Expect higher taxes for the rest of your lives!  I don’t know about you, but I already pay enough money for a service that sucks…  I’m paying Nordstrom prices for Walmart quality, and I’m sick and tired of it!
