Within Their Means - Make That OUR Means
Posted by Andy on April 24th, 2008
Most American families and households are facing a dire prospect, can I afford all my bills. Those bills are electricity, heating energy, gasoline, groceries, the mortgage, health care INSURANCE, etc. Not to mention have a little left over for some fun. But our Federal Government doesn’t have to face the same sort of budgeting and belt tightening.
Nope, while we have to sit back and watch Washington make everything cost more through bogus regulations and mandate more expensive energy products. We have to sit here and take it. We currently have to sit back and watch members of Congress on their out of control spending spree which is putting the burden of deficit and debt spending on our children.
Well there are some members of Congress who are trying to do something about it. No not just raise taxes to match the spending. Nope, there is a couragous group of Congressmen that understand that Government cannot continue to grow at a rate that outpaces the economy.
The Republican Study Committee is a great group of real conservatives doing great things to keep Government limited. They have put together a Constitutional Amendment that would limit the growth of government. More to the point, it would make sure the Federal Government only grows at a pace where Americans are able to pay for it.
You can find out more about the Amendment at Freedom Works and the RSC
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R MN6) is member of the RSC and part of the team trying to stop wasteful Government spending. Here’s some video of her at the press conference announcing the amendment.
