FREEPS.....You need a reason to wake the hell up ?
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 03:10 PM by Justice Is Comin
Read the Democrats 12 step idea of government.

And when you get through with that, click on the link at the bottom and see what your fucking war daddy has done for you.

WE WOULD

:bluebox:... Require a balanced budget.

:bluebox:... Don't let Congress buy on credit. Congress should re-enact "pay-as-you-go"
rules that require any new spending must be paid for by cuts in other programs or additional revenue.

:bluebox:... Put a lid on spending. Government spending has soared by more than 16% since 2001.

:bluebox:... Require agencies to put their fiscal houses in order. According to the non-partisan Government Accounting Office, 16 of 23 major federal agencies cannot issue a simple audit of their books, and the federal government cannot account for $24.5 billion it spent in 2003. The Blue Dogs propose a budget freeze for any agency that cannot properly balance its books.

:bluebox:... Make Congress tell taxpayers how much they are spending through recorded votes.

:bluebox:... Set aside a rainy-day fund for national emergencies.

:bluebox:... Don’t hide votes to raise the debt limit.

:bluebox:... Justify, in writing, spending for pet projects.

:bluebox:... Ensure that Congress reads the bills it is voting on. Too often, bills are pushed through Congress before Members even have time to read the legislation, which can be hundreds of pages long.

:bluebox:... Require honest cost estimates for every bill Congress votes on. Taxpayers and Members of Congress deserve to know how much each bill costs.

:bluebox:... Make sure new bills fit the budget.

:bluebox:... Make Congress do a better job of keeping tabs on government programs.

1. They will never wake up.
They're hopeless.
