Keep the Sequester Cuts

We may need to clean house in Washington.  The politicians, on both sides of the aisle, appear to be ready  to restore the spending eliminated in the sequester.  How can they seriously deal with our budget and think of increasing spending?

We are already on a financial time bomb.  There is no way to diffuse it.  It is only a matter of time before our financial system collapses.  The politicians only hope that it will not happen on their watch.  Thus the perpetual kicking of the can down the road.  Addressing the real issue will be messy and politically unpopular.

Our other problem is the growing government.  Weekly we hear about more government intrusion in our lives.  Government interference may seem benign now, but the power of government can easily be turned for evil.  We have to stop government growth now.  It only grows because we let it.

A whole new slate of legislators might be the answer.
