Budget and Country First

I think it is about time to put the brakes on all this spending including this massive budget request. We must trim Obama's budget request not by billions but by trillions. We cannot afford all this spending for the programs he wants. They may sound good, but not at this time. We must function and govern within our means, just like the average citizen and not spend, spend, spend. This madness must stop and we must all come back to reality. We can't continue to spend what we do not have or what we falsely claim will have in the next 10 years. You know this is a bunch of garbage. It is time our elected officials put the country first over their own self-interest and their party. Country first is and should be the call of every elected official. What we have now and have since who knows when is party first, me first, friends and lobbyist first and then if anything left over the country. I am waiting for my elected officials to stand in front of the TV cameras and state, “Country First”.
