Slow is not going to make it – have to bail at LEAST as fast as it is coming in to make a difference

by Skip

Been meaning to put this up for a a bit; you want to know WHY we here at the Grok are in a peevish frame of mind about spending by the Feds?  Let this provide a contextual framework to wrap your wallets around:

Senate Democrats have drawn the line at $10 billion in cuts to the budget in this fiscal year, already half-expired.

The national deficit for the month of February was $222.5 billion, or $7.9 billion per day.

Thus, the Democrats’ cuts are sufficient to get the government running even for roughly 30 hours. Those harsh, draconian cuts proposed by the GOP — $61 billion — would have the government running even for about a week.

The CRs, with the Billion dollar cuts (remember when Millions of bucks was a lot of money??) is like bailing a rowboat with a thimble in a raging storm….

As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
