Deficit Spending…
Is anyone really aware of what this government is doing? The spending of this body has become so bloated, so outrageous that it is only a matter of time before a crash rains down on us.
For instance, the spending for the highways in this nation was listed as nearly 42 billion dollars, yes billion. Yet after administration and other costs, the amount left over for the states to spend was 28 billion. This means 14 billion dollars was basically taken, sucked up, and distributed. This is a staggering number, yet the disturbing numbers continue. Eight billion dollars was not used for highways, so again a large piece of the pie was eaten by someone and all logical thinking individuals can fairly deducted who those someones might be.
The middle to upper-middle class is the popular sympathy tool in every election, yet in the years in-between, we are nothing more than the feeders of the welfare recipients. Some are listed as being on public assistances and receive minor payments, while others are listed as contractors, consultants and corporations and making billions on the backs of the American people.
Is it any wonder that so many of these rich and powerful support higher taxes and larger government? After all the guilt of taking payment for little or no services provided can be a burdensome weight to carry.

Deficit Spending (author Aebersole)
You know you want to blame someone for our deficit problem, but really who really is the problem(Bush administration) they want to say, that we spend to much for welfare recipients but if it was not for the jobs
that we lost and the jobs that moved over seas, and for our high price gas that took a toll on our economy, but who do we want to blame the bottom line is poor people who may have lost there minimum wage job to over seas, or a war that was not constituted, the cut’s in programs, for the poor, children and education all these programs have been cut or down sized for what to pay for a war that was not constituted, we are tired of the lies from the Bush administration it’s not fair the poor always get the blame, oh what about our health care problem, who is to blame for that. Our new president will have his hands full–it’s very depressing for me to think how much more can we take, and still be blame for small welfare payments go to those who need it, not because they want it, it’s only a very small portion that the poor receive from welfare it does not even make a dent in the economy so when people make these judgements they better know what they are talking about, it’s the other way around there are more people with out jobs now and have to ask for help when before they all ways had a job, it’s only now that the politicians want to do something, but what happened to the very very poor and the handicap and other people who are part of our society what happens to them with these cut’s everyone plays the blame game and turn away I hope our new president does not do that and does not forget his past how he grew up, and what his own family had to go through it’s only this hope we all will have for a change for someone to lead a nation someone who can be strong, fair and compassion in time of need, we need a true balance in Washington, maybe we might just get it as long as politics and wealth and greed does not lead him a stray
