Cut, Cap and Balance...

If you haven't already done so, you should write your congresscritters and tell them to support Cut, Cap and Balance. If you don't know what it is, it is a bill being voted on today in the House that says government has to CUT current spending, CAP future spending and put forth to the States a BALANCED budget amendment.

Without these measures in place, congress is going to continue to spend TRILLIONS of dollars we don't have. This bill will put measures in place that makes government accountable to the real bosses, us, the tax paying Citizens of this Country.

If you need another reason, obama opposes it. Anything obama is against has to be good for this Country.

Call your congresscritters, write them, email them, anything. Just tell them that we demand this runaway freight train be brought under control. And CUT, CAP and BALANCE is a good place to start...

obama: ‘We Don’t Need a Balanced Budget Amendment’

I don't know why obama would be opposed to a balanced budget amendment. It's not really going to affect him anyway. He has no regard for the Constitution and has violated most of the existing Amendments anyway, so why would another one matter?

This line absolutely pisses me off. The Constitution DOES tell them how to do their job, well, exactly when do these assclowns in our government plan on doing their job?

“The Constitution already tells us to do our jobs -- and to make sure that the government is living within its means and making responsible choices.”

Does obama TRULY think that what he is doing is in the best interests of this Country? There is no possible way he can think that. An ever expanding government and a never ending spending habit are NOT what our Founding Fathers had in mind, not even close. There hasn't been on "responsible" choice made by this administration, and I doubt that they change that any time soon...

President barack obama says America does not need a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, and he once again blamed much of the fiscal problem on Bush-era tax cuts.

“We don’t need a constitutional amendment to do our jobs,” obama told reporters at his Friday news conference. “The Constitution already tells us to do our jobs -- and to make sure that the government is living within its means and making responsible choices.”

The House will consider a balanced budget amendment next week. It is an idea supported by both conservatives (including Sen. Jim DeMint of S.C.) and liberal Republicans (including Sen olympia snowe of Maine). In fact, every Republican in the U.S. Senate now supports a balanced budget amendment as a way of offseting a $2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling.

The public overwhelmingly supports a balanced budget amendment by 72 percent, while just 20 percent oppose it, according to a Fox News poll.

To legally borrow more money, Congress and the president must authorize an increase in the debt ceiling. The national debt is $14.4 trillion. Under the constitutional amendment, a deficit would have to be erased by spending cuts.

“We don’t need a balanced budget amendment,” obama said on Friday. “We simply need to make these tough choices and be willing to take on our bases. And everybody knows it. I mean, we could have a discussion right here about what the numbers look like, and we know what’s necessary.” obama and his fellow Democrats insist that a tax hike on the wealthy is necessary.
