The thing about this is that the people don’t have control. So talking to us about it does nothing except expect us to hold the government accountable. That kind of checks and balances can only be managed from within (the gov). Those are the kinds of conversations and issues that the budget specialists of those days should have dove into. We needed to pay people to rebalance the budget starting at zero through each department. Instead they add and add to the annual base. “If dept doesnt spend $ they won’t get $ allocated to them” it’s become a running motto for governmental spending. Who is going to be the one to throw up their hands and “say we don’t need more“ ? trillions of dollars in debt and have millions of people who still have no skill set, can’t afford decent homes plus all of their bills and food… we don’t have to go to the slums of Asia or Africa to see poverty. We can’t even control it here in our own country. What are we suppose to do about government over-spending? Really, what are our options? demand a balanced budget or what?
#OnThisDay in 1985, President Ronald Reagan recognized that the size of the deficits has captured the attention of everyone. He believed that this could be a moment when we transcend party lines and remember that we are citizens of this country with a shared responsibility. The situation is critical, reaching crisis proportions, and calls for permanent changes to the built-in spending increases. Together, as responsible citizens, we can face this challenge and fulfill our duty to secure a better future for our nation. #UnitedWeStand #Responsibility #NationalDuty
