I was disappointed in the budget proposal mad by Obama this week. Mostly because I do not think enough major cuts were made to the federally funded programs. At some point the continued printing of money to offset our spending vs. revenue is going to come back to haunt us. If it did not work for thousands of Americans with credit cards and equity loans what makes the government think it is any different?
Everyone will eventually feel the pain with President Obama's new budget proposal but clearly the middle class will suffer it the most. I scratch my head once again as to how this budget cannot clearly define more cuts in our social services or as I like to refer to them "sloth troughs". Everyone including myself has needed a helping hand at one time or another and of course elderly and disabled will need continued support. How about the abled bodied? Do they justify our supporting them in perpetuum in the future?

I'd like to see some welfare and section 8 cuts. Public Housing is not the same thing as section 8. As someone looking to go to graduate school his cut on loans would affect me personally but everyone is going to need to take a hit. I am OK with my fair share so long as we stop feeding the sloth troughs. Many of these welfare and section 8 freeloaders (not the ones actually working and/or going to school) but the actual lazy bones sitting at home popping out more generations of welfare should be put to work in our schools, cleaning litter etc. Until we stop giving it away free they are going to keep coming. Obama needs to start his cuts there or at least give the tax payers something for their money. I'd like to see the welfare to work program be reformed to a work for your welfare program. Use the welfare recipients to staff our school libraries, run after school programs, clean the streets of litter, filing in public agencies to name just a few public serving duties these people could serve. Wake up America - Welfare is helping very few people! Welfare makes dependents we can not afford to support any longer! Too many people have their hand out and not enough are contributing to support them. You do not need to be an economics major to figure that out. |
