Congress runs the country like a hardcore addict.

 CONTINUAL RESOLUTION IS AT A $2 TRILLION YEARLY DEFICIT RATE

NO BUDGET AND CONTINUE TO ADD MORE SPENDING

We have all winessed the behaviour of hard-core drug addicts who run their family and their finances into the ground and end up on the street. Congress seems to have the same kind of addiction to spending and more spending. There is no budget that balances income with revenue, it is just a wide open spending bill and they all have their favorite little piece. The problem is they will not end up on the street, but many responsible citizens will.

These endless continuing resolutions just keep the debt growing and fixes the deficit for that period. It is time that congress takes responsibility and overhauls the budget, make it all public and they need to understand what they are voting on. Who actually writes these so called budgets, or I should say spending bills, as a budget is supposed to balance income and expenses? 

All foreign aid should be suspended until there is a surplus in the budget. All grants for research should be eliminated until they show a surplus. Then every dime should be scrutinized to see if it is vital for the nations good. It is way past time to get the nations financial house in order. 

The Defense department needs a thorough audit as does many other big spending departments. Does anyone doubt that there is $100s of billions of waste and fraud.

While we will hear all kinds of excuses why this is not the time, due to national security or some other pressing matter. The reality is the debt and deficits are the greatest threats to the future of this country. Only a country on a sound financial footing can have the resources to be a great country.
