Dear Mr. President,
I know that you receive 20,000 letters a day and that you actually read 10 of them every day. I really do respect you for trying to get a pulse on what is going on out here.
We got to lower spending.
Funding Government by the Minute
Published on Mar 28, 2012
At the rate the federal government spends, it runs out of money on July 31. What programs should be cut to balance the budget and fund the government for the remaining five months of the year? Cutting NASA might buy two days; cutting the Navy could buy fifteen. It seems that balancing the budget may require more than just cutting government programs. What should be done?

This government of ours is so large that it is out of control.
Is Government a Repulsive Spouse or Spoiled Child?
January 24, 2013 by Dan Mitchell
Regular readers know that I get very excited when I see signs that more and more people are realizing that the real fiscal problem is big government. Even if the sound analysis comes from foreigners or international bureaucracies.
Deficits and debt are bad, to be sure, but they are best understood as symptoms of the underlying disease of excessive spending.
With that in mind, we have two cartoons that correctly identify the real threat to America’s future.
Here’s Lisa Benson showing the President enjoying a dance with his first love at the inaugural.
And here’s a Jerry Holbert cartoon capturing the rapacious appetite of a bloated public sector and the impact on society.
As you can see here and here, it’s quite similar to the theme used with great effectiveness by Eric Allie.
Except Holbert seems to emphasize deliberate destructiveness, rather than the blundering incompetence in the Allie cartoons.
But the net effect is still the same. Big government is counter-productive government.
