Budget cuts keep coming

Hi

As you can see from the titles of the blog I am especially interested in budget cuts. My hope is that it will rub off on our elected leaders. For too long every one in DC, presidents, congress people, and members of both political parties have ignored the harsh reality, our government costs too much. Every so often they appease the voters by announcing some sort of budget cut. In order to explain what Washington means by a budget cut I will give a hypothetical example. For sake of this example let us assume there is a department which has an annual budget of $100,000. The department submits a proposed budget for the subsequent year of $110.000. a 10% increase. After review the congress approves only a $6,000 raise to a total new budget of $106,000. The way Washington looks at it they cut $4,000 off the proposed budget which is a 4% cut. In actuality the new budget is a 6% increase. f we did math like that in grade school we would have received a failing grade. Let's give these characters a failing grade at the ballot box.

Remember to keep our service members in your prayers.
