Spending Cuts and Debt

Unreal. You could confiscate every penny owned by our nation's most well-known billionaires, and all that money wouldn't be enough to cover even a year's worth of INTEREST on our national debt. Never mind the $34 trillion principal we owe! The rampant, careless, overspending by Washington politicians covering the span of DECADES, combined with the complete & total unwillingness for… Read more »

Once again, Congress is set to kick the can down the road on our spending bills.  Another “Continuing Resolution” passed the Senate earlier today and is expected to be voted on in the House shortly. This one extends current discretionary funding into early March with no meaningful changes to the amount our government is spending, or what that money’s being spent on. You all know… Read more »

Moments ago on Newsmax, here's the latest on the spending negotiations in Congress. The biggest problems we're facing are overspending and a complete lack of border security. Democrats are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND on either of those issues. Read more »

If you heard the news this morning, you know a spending “agreement” was announced over the weekend in Congress. This deal was reached between new House Speaker, Mike Johnson, and the Democrat leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer. The details we know so far are more than disappointing. They’re infuriating. *** If you read no further, just know I’ll be voting against this. It’s a near total… Read more »

I hope all of you had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year. As we roll into January, one of the big stories to watch over the next few weeks will be government funding. There are two major deadlines on the immediate horizon, the first of which is just 17 days from now, on January 19th. That’s when funding for four major functions of the federal government is set to expire: Agriculture,… Read more »

It is DISGUSTING what this inept, bloated government spends your money on. Check out a few of these examples, quoted directly from this report: 📛 federal grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill; 📛 Barbies used as proof of ID for… Read more »

Looking for some much-needed goodwill, the Biden Administration dumped half a million dollars last week into feasibility studies for high-speed rail between Atlanta and Charlotte. I may have an unpopular opinion here, but I’m not wrong…  Proponents of these high-speed rail projects tout the jobs to be created, as if it’s government’s role to confiscate money from you to create jobs… Read more »

Over the last fiscal year, your federal government BORROWED over $53,000 every second. Just think about that. We cannot possibly tax enough to cover all the spending coming out of Washington, so every second of every day, we’re borrowing more than $53,000 to make up the difference. And yet Democrats are still telling me we don’t have a spending problem. Our total borrowing last fiscal… Read more »

It’s time to reiterate what I’ve been saying for quite a while. September is going to be a total mess in Congress for one reason, and one reason only: Because for decades, elected leaders in Washington have racked up almost $33 TRILLION in national debt. You and I will not be alive to pay this back. The “borrower is the slave of the lender” (Proverbs 22:7), but it’s our children and… Read more »

Most of you know this, but the federal government is only funded through September 30th. Prior to that date, Congress is supposed to pass legislation that funds the various federal agencies beyond September 30th. That process is shaping up to be a complete disaster, which is not surprising. We have too many entrenched Members of Congress who don’t care about our outrageous spending. This… Read more »
