When will it end…

My question is, when will all this spending end?  When is someone going to finally stand up and say enough is enough?  Is there no one out there in a position of leadership with the courage to speak out against all this spending?

So the Washington Post had the following article talking about how another stimulus package could cost as much as $700 billion over the next two years.

Facing an increasingly ominous economic outlook, President-elect Barack Obama and other Democrats are rapidly ratcheting up plans for a massive fiscal stimulus program that could total as much as $700 billion over the next two years.

Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), whose aides have in recent weeks balked at suggestions that Democrats might spend as much as $300 billion, conceded yesterday on "Face the Nation" that the price of a stimulus package is likely to be "in the several hundred billion dollar category."

In other articles even President Elect Obama says the crisis will get worse before it gets better. 

Of course it will.  With all the spending and borrowing, America will need a bail out.  This is when it gets scary because it will be at the mercy of which ever country will help us out.  Moving closer and closer to socialism will be the least of our concerns at that time. 

My solution.  Halt spending and get back to basics.  If we are to survive as a country, people will have to start making sacrifices.  We have been living high off the hog too long.  Too many are living in excess.  So either we can choose to cut back on our own or we can let the government continue doing what it is doing and soon they will control our spending for us.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

It’s not the governments job to make sure everyone stays in business.  It’s their job to provide for the common defense, insure domestic tranquility and PROMOTE general welfare.  It’s in our constitution, it is what we were founded on and it is through those same principles that we will continue to survive and prosper.

Enough is enough!
