STOP SPENDING MONEY AND PROPOSING THE SPENDING OF MONEY WE DO NOT HAVE!!! Ultimately it boils down to MY Federal Government living within it's means - whether it is healthcare legislation, government bail out, entitlement programs - the flow of money MUST STOP! The "gravy train" of the wage/income earners and so-called wealthy will run dry at some point. We are ALL having to tighten our belts and why should MY Federal Government behave any differently than MY family in terms of budgeting, saving for a rainy day, delaying gratification of things I want vs. things I truly NEED?!

STOP, STOP, STOP. I am more dissatisfied in my elected officials and in the function of government that I have ever been in my life. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO REDISTRIBUTE WHAT I EARN WITH MY HARD WORK AND MOTIVATION. NOR ARE YOU ENTITLED TO WHAT I CHOOSE TO SAVE SO THAT I MAY REMAIN FREE FROM THE SHACKLES OF GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS!!
