As
we head into the election year the talks about budget cuts have simmered to the
needed debate about jobs. Are "We the People" to forget that
those cuts are still looming? The most dangerous thing for us to do is
let the "budget crisis" solution get processed under the radar.
This is exactly what is happening with this "Super Committee."
Another closed door debate is not going to be beneficial to "We the
People", they have not been in the pass and they will not be now.
"We the People" should be allowed to hear this debate since it was
our politicians who got us into this so called "debt crisis" by
mishandling our money; and they also need to explain, in light of the world
wide corporate bailouts that our government is participating in, why are these
cuts necessary.
According
to an audit commissioned by Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders, The Federal
Reserve has bailed out the big banks here and abroad, some big business and
some rich individuals to the tune of 3-4 trillion dollars. This is after
the big banks were allowed to steal over 700 billion from "We the
People." Our leaders tell us that the problem is past and current
government spending. Well, if this be the case how can we bailout the
banks? Oh, I forgot they paid us back! So you see my friend that was a
loan that "You the People" got back with interest. Oh goody for
us. "We the People" got paid back with interest. So you
see the bailout was an investment. Well then that's a horse of a different
color, and all is right with the world.
But wait... That was the over 700 billion. What about the 3-4 trillion? Where did this money come from? "We are broke!" as John Boehner stated so many times during the hostage debates. If we were broke how in the world did we find 3-4 trillion dollars? Are our political leaders selling "We the People" down the drain? These are questions "We the People" should be asking. Democrats, Republicans and Independent voters should be considering these and other questions very seriously. Maybe its time for all of them to go! Is there a budget crisis, or is there a solution to this crisis that would not demand severe cuts to critical services and programs that would impact are growth? Just imagine, our leaders are arguing over what to cut to get a 4 trillion dollar budget decrease, when the Federal Reserve had it all along. Debate would have been over. So now the question is, why didn't our government get the money? And if they are participating in the Greece bailout, "We the People" should be able to have a say about that before it happens. Lets here answers to these questions. What say you politicians?
