Cut, Cap, Balance and Jobs

If your like most of us, it just makes you sick to see the way that our Economy is being handled.  For decades now in State and Federal Governments (of all Parties) have been focused on keeping their Seats and Pensions and to do so they have just caved in to Special Interest Groups.  These groups put millions of workers on the pavement to support their chosen candidates so the Politicians (in general) just give them what they ask for which of course is higher wages, better pensions and low cost healthcare.  The problem has been that in order to do this the States and Feds have been growing their Deficits to the point that they might even go bankrupt (God Bless Texas).   "If you don't have it, don't spend it! - Duh!

Even today the Feds are arguing over what to do about the Cap on the Fed Deficit.  A few weeks ago the solution by the Dems was to keep spending but TAX those making over $250.000 - you know, the ones that typically begin the process of creating jobs after a Recession.

Now we have a proposal from the GOP called Cut, Cap and Balance.  (Cut Spending, Cap Spending as a % of projected revenue, and Balance the GD Budget.)  This is the time for our Politicians to stand firm and demand spending cuts and a Balanced Budget Amendment.  Please give them your support by signing the Pledge below and even sending them an email or fax showing your support.  This is not an Ideological or Party Issue.  It's common sense.  It's the way we should all be running our own family budget.

So far hundreds of Legislators and Presidential Candidates have signed on to this concept.  However, so far Bachman has not yet signed.  I really admire her tenacity to stand up for her  Principles even when it angers her own party.  But this is not the issue to seek all of your wishes in one package.  Let's get this passed and then go on to address the elimination of Obamacare.
