Maybe They Have a Money Tree?

Today the Senate passed a bill to extend unemployment benefits...yet again. To get the bill through, the Democrats had to break a Republican filibuster, which they succeeded at today.

Contrary to the way the Democrats and their loyal media portrayed this, the Republicans weren't opposed to extending unemployment benefits. In fact, they were in favor of it. However, they were opposed to adding to the deficit to extend the benefits. This was a puny $34 Billion dollar bill, and the Republicans dared to suggest that $34 Billion in cuts should be made to free up the money for this bill. The Democrats, who like much of their base, are afraid of hard work, refused to make any cuts to existing spending and instead chose to pile more money we don't have on the debt.

This is sad and pathetic...$34 billion is less than 1% of the federal budget, and if those we elect can't make decisions about small amounts like this, then how can we trust them to solve any of the really big problems that we have? The Democrats have proven once again that they have no interest in real reform in Washington or in solving any of our country's money problems. In fact, all the Democrats appear to be interested in is demonizing the Republicans to secure a longer reign in power.

Well, November is fast approaching. If you are at all concerned about our national debt, remember today when the Democrats continued to pile on the debt, rather than make a simple decision to shave $34 Billion off the budget to fund the needed unemployment benefits. Remember it and vote anyone with a D next to their name out of office...really any incumbent should go, but definitely those with a D next to their name.
