Does this sound like someone you know?



“So there I was – my checking account overdrawn, my credit cards maxed out, and all my monthly bills were coming due. I didn’t have any money to pay them because I’d already blown it elsewhere. No problem! I just went out and borrowed some money and paid everything for the month. It was so easy, I think I may do it again next month. Why not? I can always get more money…”



If you said, “Sounds like the government,” give yourself an A-plus.



A decade ago, conservative and centrist voters had finally had enough of the tax and spend ways of the Democrat Party and voted them out of power. The Republicans would be the party of fiscal responsibility, high morals, and true economic freedom. Or so we hoped.



The Republican Party has fallen flat on its face and frankly deserves to be left where it lies. But when you consider our options, we’d be in even worse shape by allowing the wacky Democrats back into power. Neither party has a clue in regards to spending restraint. During the long years when the Democrats held control of Capitol Hill, taxes rose to grotesque heights never before seen in American history.



Under the Republicans, taxes have rightfully gone down. But there’s one problem--someone forgot to tell the Repubs about cutting spending. The Republicans in Congress have spent even beyond George W. Bush’s expectations, and Bush is definitely not a fiscal conservative.

I take issue with the headline for this article. I see no difference in the spending ways of Repub's or Dem's. The Repub's are going to have to walk the walk before I vote for another Repub for anything. So since the Dem's aren't an option for me to vote for I guess I don't vote for either party any more and only vote on issues.

I'm telling you now ladies and gentlemen it doesn't matter if the Repub's or the Dem's' are in power. The Federal Government continues to grow, more money is spent and we get less for our bucks. Neither party it seems is interested in strengthen America. They only seem to want to 'out source' the entire nation.

BTW, keeping Repub's in power means nothing to me because they have betrayed those who put them in power. I don't like being lied to and I sincerely hope the Repub's are kicked to the curb in 2006.
