How far is too far?

I apologize that it has taken so long to continue with my ranting, it is sickness and midterm season, but now I’m back at it and I will try and cover all I missed in a condensed way. Don’t worry, even though I haven’t been writing I’ve been paying attention. Congress just passed a bill to expand the budgets of different federal agencies by about an average of 80%. At the time while it seems everyone in America is tightening their belt, the government is expanding their budget, borrowing, and spending. Some Republican state governors are going to refuse to take the money, most Democratic governors agree that the huge stimulus bill isn’t perfect but they need it because their people are suffering. Here is some advice for the suffering, stop electing governors or representatives who run deficits and destroy your state. People in states like Texas and Alaska, who run balanced budgets and have surpluses, are going to fix and finance the other states problems, how is that right? The President has promised to cut the budget deficit in half by 2013 but I, and a lot of other people, are wondering how he is going to go about doing that? Reduce the programs that we just increased the benchmark for? Probably not, instead we will tax the wealthy and businesses. Yes that’s right, tax the people that create jobs, have jobs, and use it to provide for the poor. To me that sounds like redistribution of wealth, aka socialism. Plans to pay unemployment, welfare, bad mortgages, and individual people’s debt. Taking money from responsible people and giving it to irresponsible people, from hard working people to lazy or less qualified people. You don’t get out of debt as an individual or a country by borrowing and spending, but by saving and living within your means. This shouldn’t surprise anyone though because when the government gets in trouble what do they do? Well, California has a plan in the works to legalize marijuana, then regulate and tax it to make money. It is illegal for people those unemployed people to sell it now, but if the government gets in trouble they can change laws and do as they like. Most people would say getting an education is a better way to go, so maybe this is what our government should do, get an education.
This revolving door of spending is irresponsible and stealing from future generations. Obama didn’t inherit anything from Bush, originally his tax cuts were cutting down the deficit even with the war until Pelosi (who is in charge of the budget) came in and started incredible spending again. He didn’t inherit anything in fact, because she is still there to run it up even more and I wish it was Obama’s and not hers. We are stuck with her for much longer probably. The government’s plan to nationalize banks, some of whom didn’t even want the money but were forced to take it, and the auto industry by putting government committees in charge of them is wrong. What happens when they want to oversee or nationalize the media? When has it gone too far? As far as I am concerned it stops when they try to take my rights, my life, my liberty, my property, or when they go directly against the Constitution. None of the stimulus packages have worked, and they are planning more. Let capitalism run its course. Stop spending on pork projects like the new $20 million for tattoo removal, stop paying for things that the government is not supposed to provide like universal health care, and get back to the principals America was founded on, hard work and small government. If we could spend money and create jobs to end unemployment, why are there always people that are unemployed? Why does the government say they can do things that they have no control or that experts in the field say is impossible? I am tired of being lied to and so should you, the government works for us, and we should demand more from them. Not more in the sense of free handouts, but more in the sense of honesty and accountability.
