The Federal Budget is Out of Control (Rep. Ron Paul)

excerpt:

The budget is out of control; the country is bankrupt. If we don’t stop, it’s going to be in a lot worse shape than it is now. We have to come to our sense. We’ve spent way too much money overseas, and at home, I don’t think anyone in this Congress realizes how bad it is.

I looked for a good place to post this, and decided to put it here. Please read the comments, then post your own. Giving attention to articles like these, then responding in a positive way will boost Ron Paul's ratings -- at least on this particular website. Let's show The Hill, and the world how nice and intelligent Ron Paul's fans are.

Rep John Duncan (R-TN) states, Federal government's 'Global Empire Building', $711 BILLION for DOD, Repeats RON PAUL
During yesterdays hearing on Transportation and Infrastructure in the country and testimonials from state transport managers/officials...

Rep Duncan's spoke yesterday of the massive budgets for EMPIRE building around the world, which was pretty much taken out of context from RON PAUL.

Duncan's PRAISE of RON PAUL on his congressional Website 2005:

State and Federal Transportations systems... "DETERIORATING & GROSSLY UNDERFUNDED"

Congressional Representative John J. Duncan, (R-TN) spoke about the FEDERAL government's EMPIRE Building across the globe on C-SPAN2 yesterday (6/5/08)... in addition, representative Duncan revealed the budget costs for the military in the 2009 budget to the transportation delegates, why their budgets are not funded...

$711 BILLION!

He also stated that the Washington Times reported the PENTAGON report of the top 10 current developing weapons systems cost overruns total:

$298 BILLION

in the defense budget, also hides Nuclear Weapons enrichment/development/PROCUREMENT under DOE budget of approximately...

$15 BILLION

Defense budget additionally to the Public DOD request, doesn't report the classified "BLACK" totals of

$43 BILLION

THIS U.S. GOVERNMENT, CONGRESS; (DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS and INDEPENDENTS) are COMPLETELY, OUT OF CONTROL!

One important point I missed in Rep Duncan's statement to the state transportation delegates from around the country and the Congressional Transportation committee...

"I know National Security is the important and I believe in supporting it, but, both republicans and democrats are leaping over one another in giving the Department of Defense, no matter how inefficient, everything they request, all to prove who's more patriotic."

What a great analogy by Rep. John Duncan

A prefect example of OUT OF CONTROL politicians!
