old business... new business

Why is it the new Admin can fix some "old business" but can't fix this new budget to remove earmarks?

Nope, that is old Bush business so the earmarks must stay.

Well what about all the other old Bush business things that the new Admin has already addressed or are in the process of addressing....

Healthcare... Dr.'s who have a moral objection to abortion and/or birth control that could be termed abortion... New admin seems to have no problem doing away with this old business.

And I could go on. What makes me angry is when the new admin does not want to live up to their promises, they deflect and blame.

Pres. Obama promised no earmarks. He would go thru budgets one line at a time and force them out. But so far, he is batting a big fat zero. How long does he get to put the blame on "carry over for last year".

The fact is, the Dems want these earmarks. The stimulus was full of them. The budget is full of them.

We are not a country rolling in prosperity right now. Since Jesus day, pigs have stank. Sheep's have eaten weeds. If sheep won't eat them, goats will. Not sure I see the benefit in researching these things at this point in time, considering our financial peril.

US families are not borrowing more than ever in order to live an overly indulgent lifestyle. We are hunkering down.

Yet Congress and this new admin cannot seem to grasp the fact that we want the waste out of the budget. PERIOD.

We want Congress tightening their belts with the same urgency we are tightening our belts.

Maybe the new Admin has info we don't have. Maybe they know Jesus is returning before these debts will ever be called in for payment. Hmmm.... they should let us all in on the secret date so we can borrow irresponsibly and party along side Congress. Do you think the government will give us all a tax bailout next year and let us go a year with no taxes? I mean they can just print more money, right? Or borrow it from China.

You know it truly does make me angry when I feel guilty for buying my kids Pizza Hut.... at the same time my Government is giving billions away to insane projects like "weed eating animals" or "stinky pigs".
