The House did WHAT???

I guess the idea of fiscal management is all Greek to them.  In fact, the House is running up debt faster than the Federal Reserve can print the money, or even finance the interest payments by loaning us at interest (which we don't need to pay if we used Article I powers to issue it).

We have passed a budget that includes $Billions, make that BILLION$$$ for more of our overseas entanglements, more of our policing the world, more of our protecting the oil companies, and more nation building. 

You can find an article about it here:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/15/house-representatives-passes-defence-bill

We are looking at $662 Billion for defense, which is a necessary thing for protecting our nation, but not at the levels we are paying.

We just "moved out of Iraq."  We are leaving an embassy that is larger than the Vatican, and the Vatican is a country all in its own right.  Yes, the Vatican has a defense program.  It's the guys in the multi-colored britches, known as the baddest boys in the Swiss version of Marines, and known as the Swiss Guards.  They are a formidable force, and not to be taken lightly, armaments and uniform included.

In addition to the Vatican sized embassy, we are leaving 17,000 contractors, known in earlier times as mercenaries (think of the Hessians in the Revolutionary War), and they do not come cheap.  They are the guys that get $90 for a bag of laundry, $25.00 for a can of Coke, and salaries that are quadruple what our own armed forces are paid.  And what our armed forces are paid is not enough.

We need fewer mercenaries and more self-reliance on our own Defense Department resources. 

We also need to stop spending more than the rest of the world combined.  We are broke.  Totally. We can't even dip into the oath office level of thinking on Capitol Hill and find a way to issue no interest money to buy what the armed forces need from American companies that create jobs.  We simply cannot do this, because we don't have the political will to take the tough stance and do what is right.

Ask the representatives you have in Washington these questions.

Are the bribes, campaign contributions, so valuable that you will trample on,violate, ignore the oath of office that requires you to attend at least to Article I of the Constitution?

Is a job that pays less than half a million so valuable to your financial future that you will continue on a path that is obviously directed at destroying the economy of the US, and the World, based on results of the past 25 years?

Do you really think that holding a job with less than a 10 percent approval rating (when lawyers are more approved than Congress), is so important that you will enrich your own self as your constituents starve or are rendered homeless?  Or, do you work for the Corporation, and only for the Corporations, perhaps doing your bit for Banksters thrown in to make your real constituents obvious?

Remember Congress, we the People are your real constituents.  We are sick to death of spending huge sums for corporations that take our jobs overseas, and a banking system intent on bringing back Weimar style inflation.  We are sick of foreign entanglements, and paying for mercenaries.  We are sick of corporations, existing only on paper, having more life in them than we can afford for ourselves.  The time is coming for investigations, to get information formally showing who you really work for.  It's time to work for us, because the record so far indicates you aren't working for us, the people that really vote.  Change that effective and recent will be viewed favorably after investigations commence.
