Fire 'em all!

What we need is 100% turnover in Congress. I know, it's not gonna happen. But seriously, if we ran our budgets at home the way the government runs the books, we'd have our wages garnished by now. Let's get some leaders in there who know how to use a calculator. Our tax money generates about $2.4 trillion dollars a year. Our leaders have been spending about $2.5 trillion. That's about $100 billion in overspending. If each government office cut %10 of its spending, we'd save about $250 billion a year, creating a surplus of about $150 billion. Check my math. When times get tough, and they've been tough, the we cut vacations, dinners out, and other luxuries. Why can't our leaders find 10% savings somewhere?? Mayor Michael Bloomberg basically said the same about the NYC budget. If you can't find ways to cut 8% from next year's budget, you're not trying. Happy voting!
