I want our senators to know that before
they go into a sequester, see me first! I’ll be glad to help find the
cuts needed. And we are sick of hearing the threats to programs that
have positive results. It’s a marketing ploy to scare people into
allowing tax increases without any cuts.
A simple way to start is by looking at the events we, the taxpayers, pay for.
How
do you think we feel looking at those elaborate dinner parties and
receptions that we’re footing the bill for? For $40 a person, we could
throw on a really good feed-bag. Area church ladies groups would do an
awesome job while providing a profit for their group.
The
programs that work at the street level are sometimes burdened with the
cloak and dagger of government oversight!. Most humane non-profit
services already belong to an organization of similar agencies.
They
provide oversight, industry standards and evaluation to assure services
maintain their excellence. Then we have to have government agencies to
study the needs and best practices for another cloak. Why can’t we
trust the civilian organization’s oversight and standards are based on
what is best for the people they serve?
I want to fight for
implementation of the K.I.S.S. philosophy. Keep It Simply, Simon! I’m a
disabled worker so I’m free to help any time.
Find joy. Give joy.

Add commentWhere do we cut?
John Kerry, in stepping into Hillary's role, just generously gave away 60 million dollars. Ben is busy making us more paper money which will only serve to devalue our dollar further. The government spent 340 million for conferences last year. When the government wants money, they can always find some-if not, make some more! These spending choices are not in threat of being cut-just our meat inspectors and social programs. It's all a Marketing Campaign from our Monarch and his backers to scare the majority into compliance. Recruit a hundred of us and we'll find the cuts that will balance our budget. And, no, I won't include studying the effects of meerkats wearing rubber boots.
