Answer me this, why is it that progressives are so fiscally irresponsible in their attempts to redistribute the wealth that they keep wanting to raise taxes rather than deal with Government waste and overspending?
They keep citing the war in Iraq as dollars being wasted, but what of the other billions and billions of dollars being wasted on just mismanagement.
I worked in government for 20 years, and the policy there is to never talk about saving money. Their budgets are determined at the fiscal year and any amounts that they don’t spend get taken away in May or June and their next year’s budget gets reduced.
Most department heads salaries are adjusted by the amount of their budgets. A higher budget means more weight in determining their raises and retirement.
Don't raise taxes; Raise the government’s standards in being fiscally responsible.
Seems our young Senator from Illinois (and some progressives here in our forums) doesn’t understand this.
Dang, I thought this was the Obama thread...
And I certainly agree with your post.
