The Roanoke Slant

-
Roanoke Times, 1-2-11, Pg 6: Money matters to set tone for 112th Congress. Obama makes it clear that Republicans share responsibility for finding a long-term solution to keep the government running and raise the debt ceiling.
-
It will be difficult for Republicans to participate in government processes when they’ve been told by Obama that they’re “Enemies” and must sit in the back of the bus!
Obama Calls Republicans “Enemies”

"We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

Apparently Obama and friends have not yet comprehended that the 60 new Congressmen who will be sworn in on the 5th were not sent there by “The People” to support continuation of the Democrat spending and debt-death-spiral and massive expansion and reach of the federal government.

Massive spending cuts should start immediately with the priority on the huge bureaucracies that overlap and duplicate, at great taxpayer expense, the States responsibilities, including:
• Dept of Education
• Dept of Transportation
• Dept of Energy
• Dept of Environment
• Dept of Health & Human Services
• Dept of Housing
• Executive Departments including the over two dozen Obama-Czars
-
Of particular focus must be:
1. Freeze all funding for: ObamaCare
2. Freeze EPA funding for carbon restrictions
3. Establish a no-increase in spending budget
(Obama and the Democrats don't even have a budget!)
4. Rollback the spending and don't increase taxes on anyone
We don't have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem
5. Stop subsidizing the burning of our food (ethanol)

6. Crank-up domestic energy production including nuclear power plant construction.
7. Reduce the endangered species list to a maximum of 100 entities that are truly important and in our national interest. Call it the Charles Darwin act of science instead of politics and misdirected emotion.
