We left off at WE as a united people promise to pay taxes so that our government will be able to pay for things we can all use. We all know, that Congressman and women are sent to Congress to work on behalf of areas of a particular state and their constituents of that area, let's use the phrase.........FOR THE PEOPLE.... We also know, that supposedly, it's the majority of the constituents of that area that elected this person to that position. This simply means that that person coming to Congress is to follow the wishes of the majority of that particular area. With all these known factors, we all know that this particular person will do only what he/she personally feels is correct, who cares about........THE PEOPLE...... They may tell you something totally different and how they are fighting for you BUT in reality they are doing what THEY want.
EXAMPLE
Talagoosa state park comes to the Congressperson representing that area and request to have him try to get money to buy 100 picnic tables for the park. Now, even though the general public of that area have voted and have selected not to have tax money spent on 100 picnic tables, the Congressperson still goes and works out a deal that if he promises his vote for better national transportation he will get the 100 picnic tables. But, I'm from Timbuckto. what do I care if he wants 100 picnic tables for his park, what do I get? This is called PORK in the bill. Every bill has PORK. Bottom line, the government will pay for it from the intake from?..................TAXES..........correct. Because every Congressperson is selling their vote for something they want..............but.................the government pays for it. Now, the best part is beginning to take shape. One group of Congress persons keep saying, if WE, the people want all these things we have to pay for them and since the only way we get our money if from TAXES we have to raise the taxes from the WE, the people. On the other hand, the other group of people, knowing that WE, the people do not want to have their taxes raise, yells and yells to give the WE the people back their taxes. It belongs to them. This now transforms into the situation we are in today. SPENDING MORE THAN YOU ARE ABLE TO EARN!!!!!!!! So now we have the WE, the people screaming at the CEO of the USA to curb the budget but no one is willing to give up what they are about to get. The CEO tells the Congresspeople that all of their pay raises will stop for the next 5 years. NO! NO! NO! NOT THAT!!!!! stop the raises for the WE, the old people instead. We, the congresspeople work very hard 3 days a week, 26 weeks a year and we must go around the world to see how Americans are doing on government expense! BUT! says the CEO, we have people out of work that are not paying taxes, if you want the 100 picnic tables for your park, let them build them and the people of your area, that can enjoy them, will pay for them. NO! NO! We the Congresspeople will be seen as not doing our job then.
Does any of this sound familiar??
Now, a fact, the secretary of the budget is presently presenting a budget listing 2.5 trillion Dollars income and 3.8 trillion Dollars expenditure. My math tells me this creates an additional 1.3 trillion dollar shortfall. What does their math say??
Perhaps, the USA government should look into selling services to make money. If a country wishes to have US troops available in their country it will cost them, for example
1- Soldier, Sailor or Marine = $80 per day plus perdiem for food and housing
1 jeep $10.95 per day unlimited mileage not including fuel (must be returned full) insurance not included and must be paid by customer.
1 helicopter $14.95 per day unlimited flight hours not including fuel (must be returned full) insurance not included and must be paid by customer.
1 aircraft carrier $1000 per day unlimited sea travel not including fuel, crew,incidentals
1 irate crowd to yell obscenities at the locals $1000 per day maximum 15 members plus perdiem.
1 bottle of WMD (weapon of mass destruction or better known as Montezuma revenge water )bottled in Mexico $9.95
OTHER SERVICE FOR SALE
Hurricane, Volcano eruption, Earthquake assistance, Prices on Request.
All Federal Prisons Prices on Request.
Now, if the individual states are also interested in any of these as a business, they can either start their own company offering some service and then pay the US Government a Federal Excise tax or they can franchise this from the Federal Government and pay the franchise fee plus a small monthly fee based on their earnings.
MAYBE THEN WE CAN GET A BALANCED BUDGET. Dad, we need your envelope system really bad. Can you release the copyright???
SOUND CONFUSING?...............IT'S SUPPOSE TO!...............MAKE SENSE?...............HELL NO!
CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND ANY OF THE ABOVE?...................NOT A BIT!
THEN PERHAPS YOU SHOULD RUN FOR CONGRESS!!!!!

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck
