So, Congress has passed legislation that raises our debt limit and supposedly will reduce the deficit through spending cuts over the next decade.
Only one part of this legislation will do what is reported, our debt will increase. Because Base Line Budgeting was used in formulating this massive scam, nothing will be cut. Rather every single part of government spending addresses in the bill will receive a budget increase. Yes, increase. The so-called cuts are cuts in the "proposed" spending, not one of the cuts is an actual budget decrease over what has been spent previously.
I suggest you all write to your representatives and ask them to openly, in front of media cameras, talk about the difference between actual cuts and baseline porposal cuts. The replies you get will be quite telling.
Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet entitled Common Sense. He wrote his ideas expressing opinions on issues with the understanding that the average citizen would be able to comprehend the point he was making. The Rockpile is yet another try at putting forth common sense ideas before the reader with the hope that said ideas generate an intelligent discussion.
