Incensed voters 'repudiate' Washington's leadership
From link:
Voters across America are fed up with Washington's behavior, don't believe representatives are getting the message and may just respond with demands for a constitutional amendment that would wrap duct tape around the profligate spending habits in government, according to a new poll. "An overwhelming percent of 75 percent said they would favor a U.S. constitutional amendment requiring an annual balanced budget from the federal government," said Fritz Wenzel, whose public-opinion research and media consulting company, Wenzel Strategies, conducted the poll. It was a telephone survey conducted May 18-20 and has a margin of error of 3.01 percentage points.
Can We the People Force Congre$$ to $top the Red Ink in $etting America'$ Future Budget$?
Would you like to see an amendment requiring an annual balanced budget from the federal government? Do you think your state's representatives and senators are holding the line on spending, or is it spending as usual? Do you favor or oppose spending? If you were to reduce spending, what would you like to see cut? Who would you vote on in the next election to support or oppose spending at its present level, and why?
In a nutshell: What say you? (It's okay if you don't agree with the link, and it's okay if you do.)
Even worse, 25% don't care if our budget is balanced.
WTF.....
Well, that seems to be a present society's attitude toward budgets. We may have gone wrong by making education too closely tied to the government for paychecks and not parents. If the government goes bankrupt on account of retiring baby boomers (of which I am one), Americans may be forced to take charge each of our own family's education and future instead of future nonexistent government funding. The printing presses may be running, but we better hope that shale oil in north Texas amounts to something so gas prices will plummet.
