Pass This Along To All You Know
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
As we try to figure out the eligibility of those seeking our votes to represent us in Washington, D.C., possibly for re-election, in 2010...we might want to put into perspective the role they have played in spending us into the very deep hole we find our country. In the spirit of true "leadership" most of those in charge of the process would like us to believe that the responsibility for our deficit lies with the President who was in office before the President who is in office now.
Referring to the way government spending actually works however, we see that it is our elected representatives in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate who authorize the spending of dollars. Taking the bold step of lining up the dots on this concept and considering where actual accountability should be placed -- those who are our elected representatives in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate (or at least the ones who have been voting on doing all the spending) should be the ones who get the "credit" for the accomplishment of our record-breaking deficit condition.
Patrick Gibbons shared this post in a recent "Write On Nevada", dealing with putting some perspective on what our national deficit amounts to. If you appreciate the insight as much as I have, you are encouraged to pass the link along to others who might be evaluating the performance of our elected representatives in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate -- especially those who are seeking our vote to represent us after November of 2010.
