oh that is great ... make laws and then have no one to defend them or represent people and companies.

Look ... private sector jobs are self governing. No value, no job. Comapnies must make a profit or cuts are made and jobs go away ... quickly.

My job is only essential if others need the service and will pay for it. But as I have shared, most of my work is in the not for profit sector dealing with financing and banking.

So if all the not for profits are blown up, and some should be, then I would have to find something else to do. But not worried as long as Obama and the dems want to keep throwing more and more tax payers money toward programs in the not for profit sector. They love those entitlement programs. I am sure Obama and the dems look at most federal employees as part of their entitlement mentality and why you struggle with cuts.

If there was a way to really get to what everyone considered essential and was willing to pay for ... not only would we have a smaller government, but a balanced budget, and probably lower taxes. Then make it mandatory to balance the budget each year (except at time of war, national crisis or defending the country). Any new program has to be paid for in advance, and even when the few exception occur, it must be paid back in 5 years even if it is a short term tax increase. But it really has to be a national emergency, then the tax goes away.

Isn't that how you manage your budget? Or do keep running up credit card balances and when you reach your limit just get another credit card. Isn't there a time a bank would say no more?

We need to get real ... yes republicans ran up deficits too ... but no where close to what Obama and the dems have.   Obama is still talking about high speed rail projects paid by the government ... no ... we do not have the money and the tax payers do not want to pay for it. If it was viable and could be profitable, then the private sector would do it.

Obama needs to realize he represents the people, he does not have all the answers and can not keep spending money he does not have and forcing it down people throats and say "like it" because I said so, and I am going to make generations to pay for it. Just because other dictators can do it that way ... he can't. That is why I do believe he would love to bankrupt and see the economy collapse .... in hopes that our constitution gets thrown out and his view of government can be adopted.

I believe that very much and he counts on people like you to stand by his side defending his actions ... until it is too late.
