So far, Obama has only worsen the picture with his agenda. He needs to stop the spending and find some way to fix the problems.

Unfortunately farming the budget responsibility to a group of 12 is not the answer. These senators and representatives that we elected need to roll up their sleeves and get down to business. That is what we are paying them for.

Maybe it would have been better if they would have picked a committee of 13 non-government people from each state - people like us using the thirteenth person as the spokesperson for the group to go over all of the budget including the pork and see what they could have done. That way there would be no favorite project to be saved in each state.

I would bet that in three months these groups would have reached a reasonable budget.

I know it would never happen because somehow the senators would make sure that their people were in the group to protect their interests.
