Appropriations Bill

You can not spend your way out of a recession. It has NEVER been done. The wasteful spending of Congress and this Administration is extending the recession. Washington tells us the recession is over. It’s not.

Friday the House passed a 1.1 trillion dollar spending bill filled with over 5,000 earmarks. Budgets were raised by over ten percent. The Senate passed this bill on Sunday. This bill was written behind closed doors – again – and passed with little debate. The country does not have this money! Is this really the time for more pork barrel spending?

Congress just doesn’t get it. What world does Congress live in? Obviously it is not the real world. This is not a difficult concept. Stop throwing away money we do not have! Stop wasteful spending! Stop earmarks! Stop pork barrel spending! Cut or freeze all discretionary spending! When this bill was passed, Congress spit in the eye of the American public.

Signed,
The Electorate
