Tea Party Revolt Wants to Cut Jobs and Stop Job Creation
The size of the national debt and the budget deficits has spurned the Tea Party Revolt. They want the federal budget balanced and government spending slashed. They have had it with wealth redistribution and want social programs that engage in this practice to stop. They want a smaller simpler government that focuses on limited government involvement in the affairs of the country that are best left to the states to manage as they see fit.
My God! The common sense that is the foundation for this manifesto on practical government is beautiful in its basic logic and simplicity. Problem is that only a freak’n moron would believe this horse@#*t.
The federal government is the country’s largest employer. Slashing government programs to the point of balancing the budget and reducing the debt would put millions out of work. The private sector won’t employ them since they prefer peasant Asian workers who work for a bowl of rice three times a day to Americans who expect money!!!
How many Tea Party members either work for the government or whose jobs are the result of a government contract? A whole sh#t load of them that’s how many. Slash government spending and you have a good chance of putting yourself out of work.
Are you a teacher? A cop? A fireman? In the armed forces? Do you work for Nasa? How about Lockheed Martin or many of the other major corporations whose existence depends on government spending? Are you a construction worker building subsidized housing complex or a courthouse? Are you doing construction work on an interstate highway? If you are any of these do you want to become permanently unemployed?
The armed forces have become one big government jobs program. The unemployable low income young people who have no future in the private sector sign up in exchange for the benefits offered by a government who needs to pay off these recruits by paying for their college education or by training that may translate to a private sector job. The government can’t count on the young to fight for free in these political wars, so it sops up our young in exchange for a panoply of veterans benefits, or for a career as a government servant.
Remember the good olde days of that bygone era when the government had a balanced budget, nay a surplus, and there was discussion of using that surplus to pay down the debt? I have a short memory, but I vaguely remember those days which by the way WERE ONLY TEN YEARS AGO!!
You may hate the government, and the government may not be your friend, but for millions of us it either pays our wages directly or indirectly. When the spending gets slashed don’t be surprised if you start bleeding.
There are ways to redress the debt explosion of the past eight years without putting a dagger in your own heart. We can do this and we have to start right away. Just be aware that you could be a casualty if you avenge your anger on the source of your own paycheck.
