I think Democrats are incapable of accepting the fact that we can’t spend money we don’t have, that we are drowning in debt, yet they keep wanting to spend. The definition of insanity is repeating the same actions while expecting different results. So you tell me, is crafting and pushing another stimulus insanity?
Despite the failure of President Obama’s jobs bill in the Senate last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that Senate Democrats will continue to “pursue” $30 billion in education stimulus spending included in the bill, along with $5 billion to “retain” police, firefighters and first responders.
First off, if cities, counties and States have big shortfalls, there are plenty of areas that can be cut and eliminated, “the general welfare” (Police, EMS, Firefighters) don’t have to be one of them. And secondly, it’s not the federal government’s business to fund local police, firefighters, government, etc… that’s opposite of the constitution, that’s why we have a 10th Amendment, which is part of the Bill of Rights.
“State and local budget cuts could cost as many as 280,000 teacher jobs next year unless we do more,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “That’s why President Obama proposed we invest $30 billion as part of the American Jobs Act to keep our schools well-staffed to ensure our children are well-educated.”
Like I said, it’s not the federal government’s responsibility. This is just another example of why we need to eliminate Jimmy Carter’s gift to the teachers unions, the Dept. of Education.
280,000 teachers are not going to lose their jobs if this is not passed. This is nothing but the usual Democrat fear-mongering that they don’t partake in, just ask them, they’ll tell you!
They are just incapable of comprehending the fact that they are causing the collapse of this country with their incessant spending. Democrats are doing it, nobody else. We must cut, not spend more. What the hell is so hard about that to figure out? Or does it go back to power? To hell with the country, just keep buying your supporters with goodies. No doubt that plays a big part.
