Today marks the one-thousandth day since the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a budget that defined the spending boundaries for our nation. The Republican-controlled House has passed a budget, which was ridiculed by Senate Democrats that did not propose any alternative.
This is outright irresponsible. Stockholders of any publicly-traded company would be infuriated if their company would not define a budget, show spending plans, how those plans would impact them financially, etc. Stockholders of said company would promptly sell all shares in the company and abandon any interest in it; they would have zero confidence in the leaders of that company to meet any performance goals, and without a budget, why should they? A budget provides accountability; without a budget there is no accountability for leadership to be held to.
During this 1,000 days the debt ceiling has been raised multiple times (to over $15 trillion currently), so it's obvious that we are hemorrhaging money through excessive spending. We have some of the highest taxes in the world, so more taxes is not the answer. We need a budget to enforce financial accountability. Nobody can afford to spend with no limits, which is exactly what we're doing. We need to vote out EVERYBODY in the Senate and replace them with representatives that will be accountable to a budget and to those that put them in place. There has to be an end to this foolishness.
