Watching liberals argue against more federal spending is a rare treat and provides a terrific lesson in blatant hypocrisy. It happened today when the federal debt ceiling was raised to a mere $9 trillion.


So, what’s the big deal? All we need is some belt-tightening on spending and we can lower that ceiling to a far more reasonable level.


Cutting or ending these programs would help:


-Welfare
-Food stamps
-Medicare
-New prescription benefit program
-Social Security(Raise retirement age to 75)
-Department of Education
-"American Dream” mortgage program for minorities
-Foreign aid
-Stop illegal immigration


In addition, let’s bill Mexico $500 billion for expenses related to
caring for illegal immigrants over the last five years.


While by no means exhaustive, this plan of attack would put the US back on a sold financial footing.


Whatever the end result, its been a thrill just watching all those liberals arguing against federal spending and preaching for fiscal responsibility!
