I loved this article at Big Government. In it, the author discusses Obama’s “spending freeze.” I use quotations, because anyone with an Actual Brain realizes it’s the furthest thing from a spending freeze, and in fact, is about as fiscally responsible as buying a $500 pair of shoes on sale for $250, and not needing them to begin with, and proudly announcing to Mr. Mock that due to the sale, I saved us money.
You can read all the details and facts and figures at the source link, but what most stuck out to me was the author’s suggestions for how to ACTUALLY freeze spending and save some money. He suggested, in part, the following:
1. No increase in spending in ANY program and ALL government salaries frozen for the next two years.
2. All new hiring frozen except for defense.
3. All government pensions, including for Congress and the executive branch, phased out. I LOVE this idea. Like the author says, “If a 401k plan is good enough for the rest of us, it’s good enough for our government workers.”
Additionally, we oughta cut income taxes across the board, as well as corporate tax rates (Newt Gingrich has long touted this measure). When those things happen, the economy improves and revenues increase, but Democrats refuse to learn from history. They’re smarter than history, you see.
Anyway, I thought this was some good stuff. It’d certainly go a long way in stopping future generations from being dumped on. (And yes, I do mean in the way the cartoon suggests). 
It is not enough to freeze, especially when freezing the smallest part of the budget, at higher rates. WE NEED DRASTIC CUTS!
As to Obama’s budget, it is a flat out joke. It is much, much higher than Bush’s, and I can’t wait to hear him continue to blame Bush when he is the source of his own problems. Democrats are a bunch of hypocrites, liars, and thieves.
