We Must Rein In a Government Gone Wild

From foxnews.com

Democrats have controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives for three months now, and from their actions, a discomforting narrative has emerged. It’s a pattern of fiscal recklessness that is piling debt on our children and grandchildren—a pattern of flagrant indifference to waste and abuse of taxpayers’ money at a time when every penny counts.

And this week’s ratification of President Obama’s budget by the Democrat-run Congress serves notice to Americans that never-before dreamed of levels of spending, taxation, and red ink are on their way. Republicans countered their complete lack of fiscal discipline with an alternative budget that curbs spending, creates jobs, cuts taxes, and controls the debt.

The majority’s fiscal arrogance has sparked an insurgency not just among Republicans in Congress, but in communities and neighborhoods across America. “Taxpayer tea party” protests are erupting in city after city. In my hometown of Cincinnati, thousands of citizens recently gathered on Fountain Square to protest government policies that are forcing responsible Americans to subsidize irresponsibility. Similar protests are flaring up in cities and towns nationwide.
