Little By Little....

Inch by inch, Congress slips its hand deeper into our pockets. It has become so common for them to "raise the debt ceiling" that we (mostly) don't even notice it, any more, as they slip more and more dollars out of our pockets--and now out of our son's and daughter's, grandsons and granddaughters' pockets, as well. They never even CONSIDER LOWERING their spending. They have "budget problems" every year, but cutting down on spending is NEVER an option to them. They just demand more money from the taxpayer. It's like that pesky brother-in-law who always borrows money and never pays it back, yet comes to you time and again to borrow more. Congress needs to start limiting their SPENDING, instead of demanding to borrow more and more money, every year. But will they? Not a chance. In addition to rising spending, they also raise their own pay on a regular basis. I guess $150,000.00 a year just isn't enough for them to live on. Wish I had that "problem." (CNN Money)
