One Hundred Thirteen: The Deficit & Term Limits

So this David Walker dude, former Comproller of the Currency, and lots of other various talking heads, are making all kinds of sanctimonious noise about the deficit, and how the US is committing fianncial hari-kari, which is all true enough, but they all miss the point. The current financial mess and out-of-control federal government is a direct result of the millions of people who are 100% vested in the growth of the federal government. The only way to stem this trend is term limits.

One Hundred Twelve: Gridlock

Recently, after a post-midterm election meeting with Republican leaders, President BO said, "Americans did not vote for gridlock." Well, excuse me, I am an American, and I certainly did vote for gridlock. I ALWAYS vote for gridlock. Since it is quite impossible to ever reduce the size and scope of government, the best we can ever hope for is a government which does nothing. As I have preached in this blog many times before, nothing will ever change until we have a constitutional amendment to limit the amount of welfare which US senators and representatives take. We need term limits.
