Bachmann In Overdrive

The thunderclap last November that turned the tables on big spending politicians (Democrats) resulting in the biggest turnover of party leadership in over 50 years appears to have left many in Washington whistling by the graveyard.

On the way out, under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D:NV), who somehow got re-elected, a 1900 page omnibus spending bill has been presented, and likely will pass since many appropriators and some "moderate" Republicans are in favor along with most all those who love to needlessly spend your money (Democrats).

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R:MN) is not happy, and neither am I. Bachmann spoke with FOX Business's Judge Andrew Napolitano:



The country is broke, and economic troubles are indeed on the way, even if those smiling faces in Washington tell you differently. For Reid and his followers to propose such an outrageous spending bill with the economic problems looming and on the heels of the loud word of the people last November, it illustrates a complete disregard for the American people and champions a new level of arrogance. John McCain (R:AZ), for the love of Pete, is threatening to filibuster! Steve Moore of the Wall Street Journal editorializes on the final insult of this 111th Congress.

This slap in the face of the electorate will simply not be tolerated. Those who are in support and vote to implement this anchor of spending, and who are in large measure complicit in bankrupting of our country, will certainly be held accountable. Democrats will not get my support anyhow, but any Republican voting for this suffocating debt stricken bill will find me campaigning vigorously against them, including endless scorching here on the blog.

It goes back to comments correctly made by Ronald Reagan: "We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much”. Last year, the Tea Party Patriots led the nation to speak loud and clear on this subject. To work off a quote by CNBC's Rick Santelli, "Washington, were you listening? Stop Spending!"

For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I hope so. Unfortunately, I fear they are actively working the Cloward & Piven strategy to crash the system and if so, the governmental structure placed in our care by our founding fathers would appear to be at extreme risk.

A note for those in Washington. We surround you, and we work tirelessly to hold you accountable. We are indeed in a time of choosing, and those attempting to endlessly spend our money are not part of the solution, which is free market capitalism, our best path to prosperity.
