Are you Keeping Up with the Politicians?

Republicans in Congress want to cut billions from the American budget this year.  I hope that what they cut from the budget is enough.

Have you ever tried to run a race while being eighty pounds or more overweight?  Not very comfortable if you've tried that.  Not very efficient either.

Having run cross country years ago, I am now forty pounds heavier than I was then.  Granted, I am much older now, and some would say I was underweight back then.  The difference though, is that I was a lot faster, and a lot more efficient in my running.

The government is bloated, overweight, inefficient.  As Bill Bennett was speaking of this morning, people need to make clear the difference between what we "need" and "what we want."  Liberals want a lot of things.  What we need is fiscal responsibility and sanity in regard to the budget.

 Congress has done really poorly of late.  I wonder if any of the people in congress would be willing to do what some CEOs have done in private companies.  Take a $1 salary for the year until government is running much smoother.  I bet some of our congress people could afford to do that.  I wouldn't hold or expect everyone to do that, but there are many, many cuts that can be made to make government run much more smoothly.  Everyone is tightening the belt right now, how about government?  How about Obama?
