Here's the Real Problem in America and in Congress: You Can't Eat Your Cake and Have It Too

There is a major disease in the United States. It occurs in Congress first, and then this disease spreads as dependence on the federal leviathan increases. In Congress we see how many go to Washington ready to fight wasteful federal spending--that is until they see how much money will be pulled out of their own districts. Then it becomes about them, and they worry about their own reelection and forget about their spending cut promises.

The next problem is with the voters. They want the federal government to stop spending, but then they are afraid of what cuts in federal programs mean to their own welfare. That has been proven in the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll. Check out this sad reality:

In the poll, eight in 10 respondents say they are concerned about the growing federal deficit and the national debt, but more than 60 percent — including key swing-voter groups — are concerned that major cuts from Congress could impact their lives and their families.

$14 trillion in debt--which will near $16 trillion before the end of the year. How is that going to affect your children's family? Stop whining and take the cuts now before the point of no return is reached.
