Budget Projects and Congress

Standing behind our children says the poster at the left. Hah! Our children will be digging out of this Republican budget disaster for years and years. Their children will be digging out as well. My kid was recently assigned a Budget Project for 8th grade. The project was scarey it reminded me that we all are supposed to live within a budget. We all are supposed to be able to afford the things we really truly need. However, if we overspend we go into debt. It is as simple as that. Why can't the U.S. Congress figure that out? When Congress overspends we all suffer. The inflated budget drives up the price of goods and services which affects us normal folks but Congress never feels the pinch because they vote pay raises for themselves. How can I afford to donate $$ to the Democrats when they have no clue what to do now that they are in the majority? They still act as if they were in the minority. Sheesh. Are we any better off with Democrats than Republicans? I don't think so anymore. None of them are any good.
