Any responsible American understands how a budget works. You can’t spend more than you take in. If you do, you have to spend less, or you’ll lose everything in the long run.
Somehow, the people we send to Washington D.C. — supposedly with superior intellects and our best interest in mind — haven’t learned that lesson. Every year we elect people who promise to balance our budget and release us from the constant threat of increasing debts, and nearly every year those very people go to Washington and spend more money, and put us deeper into debt.
All but one, it seems. One Republican legislator is finally trying to create real consequences for members of congress should they fail to balance the budget, and for once they, not the American people, will be the ones hurting should they fail.

Excuse me, but the GOP has been in control of congress for 8 years! They claim they will move this country forward, and what have they accomplished? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! So don’t go blaming the “lazy” democrats for not getting anything done when the GOP had the votes to “get things done”!

Here’s all of the pig’s at the trough.
Hell yeah!
Jim Gerber – the President does not control spending he only has the authority to approve or veto spending legislation.
Clinto had a Rep. congress, led by Newt Gingrich, which was responsible for balancing the budget. So, it was the GOP that created the surplus, not Clinton.
