My View on House Budget

So, with time running out, our illustrious republicans were able to pass a $1.1 Trillion budget, but only with the support of democrats.  It seems many conservative republicans were not supportive of this monstrosity of a bill that will only increase our national debt to over $19 Trillion by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, 2015.  Many republicans were elected in the last election by running against Obamacare and low and behold, this budget actually funds Obamacare and Obama’s immigration plan.  Oh, yes, they will address Homeland Security and immigration in February, but tell me, do you really think this great republican majority will cut funding to Homeland Security and thereby decrease border security.  If you do, I have some beachfront property in Nebraska for sale. 

Many republicans complained about Obamacare when it was passed and never read, and now we have a 1600 page bill that was put together in the closing minutes and voted on without being read, except for those that put all this pork together.  Why did they rush this bill through rather than just pass a continuing resolution until February?  Well, the new members of Congress will take office in January and they would not have voted for this bill.  So, it was the republican establishment, screwing the new members.  Actually, this is typical of those we have in Congress.  For those who thought Congress represented you and your voice, let me tell you what this is all about.  Power and money for both sides of the aisle.  If you are lucky to get elected to Congress and are just a middle income man or women, in a few years you will be richer than you could ever had imagine.  Think about this.  Do you know any members of Congress that are poor or have the same income when the leave Congress that they had when the entered.  Check it out.  So it is not about you, the country or the constitution, but all about money and power and what can I get out of this.   

Next fall when a new budget must be voted on, the republicans will cave again because in 2016 there will be a presidential election and they do not want to rock the vote.  And then in 2017, it will be the 2018 election and the same rhetoric will apply.  These people are just screwing you and you cannot even enjoy it. 

That is why we need 38 states to get together for a constitutional convention to pass only 4 amendments.   One for repeal of the 17^th amendment, one for term limits (3 terms for the House and 2 terms for the Senate and no more than 12 years total).  Then one for a balance budget amendment and if Congress fails to balance the budget, their salary will be cut 20% each year it is not balanced.  Then if possible, a 4^th amendment that would eliminate any pension for congress.  If they want a retirement plan, they can have a 401k with the government contributing a maximum of $5000.

So, what does Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner have in common?  Neither one has any balls but when it comes to screwing the citizens, they are experts.
