For years, the Democrat-controlled congress raised deficits and regulations under Obama. Once Americans had enough and handed both the Senate and the House back to the GOP, Obama vetoed several Republican attempts to balance the budget and put the nation back on economic track once again.
After a high-profile government shutdown, and threats of several more, the Democrats seem to have won. Despite their minority status in both legislative chambers, they continue to cripple the nation’s economy and run up the county’s deficits with reckless abandon.
Economists have long warned that the increased spending across the board would soon have consequences. This week, their warnings have begun to come true.
Of course, it isn’t the government that’s suffering. It’s everyday Americans.

It really gets my goat that politicians get these ridiculous salaries, pensions and benefits. It should never have been allowed. It’s rich for them and poor for us. They only work a few months a year. What part of public servant don’t they understand? Shame on them!
He has no right to do that. He gave himself a raise. He really has a narsistic view of his worth. I hope Trump takes his raise away.
