Paul Ryan and Lindsey Graham: A Dynamic Duo‏

A timely post from www.westernpac.org about two establishment Republicans. This follows this post about the impeachment proceedings against Eric Holder. This follows this post about Christmas in Mexico.  In the meantime, you can get more involved if you like here and read an interesting book HERE.


Paul Ryan and Lindsey Graham: A Dynamic Duo



Dear Patriot,
Lindsey Graham is at it again, declaring that Paul Ryan's budget boosts his 2016 presidential prospects.  Ryan's budget obliterates the hard-won gains of the sequester, where Republicans managed to get $85 billion in cuts out of a $3.8 trillion budget with a Democratic president in the White House and Democrats in control of the Senate.  Rather than using the $85 billion as a springboard for new cuts with a budget deadline looming, and Democrats reeling from the Obamacare rollout debacle, Paul Ryan decided to give virtually all of the ground gained through sequestration back to the Democrats.  
The Ryan budget spends $63 billion more over the next two years, with $45 billion in additional military spending on top of the $683 billion military budget.  Patty Murray extracted another $18 billion in non-defense spending as well.  This is the crux of the argument: if you take a $1 trillion out of the federal budget over a 10 year period, when combined federal spending will be almost $40 trillion, you're asking too much.  That's not even 2.5% over the long term.  
Yet Paul Ryan rushed to spend more money in collusion with Democrats like Patty Murray, and Lindsey Graham threw his support behind it.  This is the same Lindsey Graham who thought amnesty for illegal aliens with multiple criminal convictions was a good idea, the same Lindsey Graham who would throw open the floodgates for limitless NSA surveillance and destroy the Bill of Rights.   
For men like Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan, fiscal restraint is a non-existent concept. They don't have any issue with spending more of your money, even as the country reels under $17 trillion in immediate debt, $2.7 trillion in Social Security IOUs, and over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities.  No, Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan want to spend more of your money because it's the way they buy their re-election and secure campaign contributions.  
Tell Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan that your money is not their personal piggybank. Tell them you don't want to be hit with more "user fees" when you fly to finance their wasteful and excessive spending.  Tell them you don't want to leave your children and grandchildren even more debt from profligate federal spending.
