He talks a good talk, buddy-buddy with the question askers, but in the end, he came back to the same formulation, government provides good answers. I know he said that government spends too much, but he was not willing to go after massive cuts, he wants to tinker around the edges and get the $100Billion but not willing to go after more. He talked about ObamaCare and said it went to far, but that we need a healthcare bill that would bend the cost curve.

He never implicitly said it is the the role of the Federal government to stay out of the back pockets of U.S. Citizens and stop spending Federally collected taxes on things which are not Federally mandated in Article 1, Section 8. I intended to ask if he was willing to pledge not to vote for any bill which spent money other than for Article 1, Section 8 but when I presented my question to the moderator to ask the Congressman, the moderator said he would pass the question along. Others asked their questions directly, but apparently I was going to ask a question that was too hard for the Congressman to handle.

Again, I will NOT vote for a Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda Republican when it comes to fiscal or Constitutional matters. Steve Womack, you will NEVER get my vote.

I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think.
You led me on with those innocent eyes
And you know I love the element of surprise.
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart.
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world.

In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they’d learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy.
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You, you said you’d wait till the end of the world.

Grown-ups will massively cut their budgets, slash their spending, pay their debts and teach their children to be RESPONSIBLE.  Until our debts are paid, slash non-entitlement budgets by 35% across the board every year and cut entitlement spending by 35% across the board every year.  The budgets will never zero out, but they will be slashed.

Federally elected legislators will have their budgets and staffs slashed.  The budget for legislators will not exceed $250,000 per calendar year inclusive of their staff needs.

Repeal the 16^th Amendment and replace it with the “Flat” or “Fair” tax and eliminate the IRS and all of its employees within 30 days.  Maintain the current level of taxation for 8 years.  Then, after 8 years, the tax rate would be set at the following levels: 1% above the previous year’s non-entitlement added to 5% less than the previous year’s entitlement spending.  Once the new level of taxation is in place, spending levels cannot exceed an increase of 1% per calendar year.

Eliminate 50% of ALL federal bureaucrats within 60 days.  Eliminate another 50% of bureaucrats within another 60 days.

Eliminate the Federal Reserve system and replace it with a less imposing, constitutionally enumerated system.

Eliminate the following Federal Cabinet level agencies and employees within 30 days: EPA, HUD, Energy, Agriculture and Education because they are not constitutionally enumerated.

Eliminate all Czars, their staff and employees within 2 days.

Eliminate 50% of all bureaucratic regulations within 1 month.  Eliminate another 50% of bureaucratic regulations within another 1 month.  Eliminate another 50% of bureaucratic regulations within another 1 month.

Eliminate 50% of all “alphabet agencies” not constitutionally enumerated within 60 days.  Eliminate another 50% of all “alphabet agencies” not constitutionally enumerated within another 30 days.  Eliminate all remaining “alphabet agencies” not constitutionally enumerated within another 30 days.

This is only a START, more slashing will be necessary each and every month.

The Federal government of the United States is the largest slave owner ever within the borders of our country.  The plantation master, represented as the Federal government, takes from the slaves their work, life and freedom only to give them enough for a subservient existence.  The Federal has enslaved millions of citizens by providing their minimalistic welfare and existence.  Federal programs which provide any funds directly to the citizenry, enslaves the citizenry by making those recipients dependent upon the Federal for their existence. By making the poor accountable to the tax system disables the merchants of class warfare from espousing their enslavement rhetoric.  The poor are not helpless; they want to be free from the plantation owner so they can be responsible for their own fiscal lives.  The poor are “We the People,” who are tired of being held down on the plantation wanting to be free from slavery and tyranny of the Federal. 

Every person who partakes from the Federal coffers without having to replenish the Federal coffers is either a thief (taking unworthily) or slave (taking only the scraps the master allows them to have).  It is unconscionable that citizens would even consider that they should be exempt from paying taxes.  Every citizen is responsible for and to the Federal and allowing it to be out of control.  When each person who is considered poor has to pay for the Federal, they take ownership of the government and refuse to allow it become so large that it demands more from them than they are willing to pay.

When a group of the citizenry is not allowed to participate in funding the Federal government, the Federal government is no longer responsible to them, it enslaves them because they no longer have a say in how the Federal is governed.  Slavery to the Federal is promoted by politicians who say they care for the poor.  These politicians do not care for the poor, they want to enslave the poor so that they can demand the poor vote for them to maintain the scraps of enslavement.

Further Projections, Obama will not moderate and will run against the congress as the do nothing congress. A repeat of history. I will predict that the Senate will get the opportunity to reject a Supreme Court Nominee and will force Obama to appoint a more moderate nominee. Under existing circumstances the House Repubs will force Obama to shut down the gov or pass major spending cuts and the defunding of major aspects of ObamaCare. I also expect the House Repubs to force Obama to veto spending cuts every week and to force Obama to veto tax cuts at least every other week.

The gov will be in a total stand still for the next 2 years and will force an election in 2012 on the overall view of government as either larger or smaller.

You were born for this time in history.  You are called by your Creator to be passionate in following Him.  God had placed you in this time in our country, just like He did with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, George Whitfield and Thomas Paine.  He has placed you in this time to be leaders for our nation, to be re-Founders of the American dream, to be the giants He has planned for you to be.  Stand strong, be strong and courageous, and when you have done everything to stand, stand firm in the knowledge that you were created for a time like this.

Sons, study to show yourself approved in your faith as you prepare yourself for the battle ahead; never give in to the weakness of the flesh that desires to destroy you.  Hold firm to the faith that permeates your life as you follow the destiny to which you have been called.  Focus your eyes on being patriots, called by God to restore our nation to its founding principles.  Your freedom was paid for by the sacrifices of those willing to provide you with the sacred freedom to which God grants you from His throne.

My boys, never forget your liberties come from God alone.  No government, no man can give you what God has already given you.  Your life comes from God, your liberty comes from God and your happiness is granted to you from your Savior.  There will never be anyone else but you called to accomplish what God has called you to accomplish for Him in our country.  He is calling you to be the protectors of freedom and liberty that He grants to you and your fellow citizens.  Stand firm in the belief that He has a patriots plan for your life.  He has prepared you through your studies to be great leaders that our country must have to diligently protect our Republic.  Always proclaim that our individual liberty comes solely from God.

Sons, always proclaim freedom comes from God, we are free only because He grants us freedom through His Son.  You, my young men, have been called to lead our nation back to understanding that the government that governs best, governs least.  Some government is good, but only very limited government, government which will not infringe on the rights granted to man by their Creator.  Always remember that government is a necessary evil, but it is evil when it takes life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness away from its citizens. 

God has prepared you my sons to be patriots, re-founders like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Adams.  He has called you to proclaim individual freedoms you’re your fellow citizens like George Whitfield and Jonathan Edwards did before our founding revolution.  Be strong and courageous, stand firm and tall and continue to prepare yourself for the calling to which you have been called. 

I love you my sons, I am proud of you and pray for you all of the time.  I pray that our Father will grant you the wisdom, strength, knowledge and power to be an overcomer for Him and for our country.  He has planted you in this nation at this time to proclaim freedom and liberty for all men.  He has planned your steps so follow where He has planned for you to follow and your life will be fruitful.  Grow in wisdom and stature my sons; know that He has prepared you to be leaders, followers of the freedom and liberty that He alone has granted.  Go forth and know that our God reigns over the nations, He grants His favor on whom He will.  He has blessed our nation, He has granted us more freedom than any other nation has ever experienced.  Be the men who keep the flames of liberty and freedom burning for the next generation of patriots to come, keep this grand experiment in freedom alive for future generations.

What is the worth of Liberty that so few cherish its glory?  What is the worth of Liberty that so many make a mockery of its value?  What is the worth of Liberty that so many despise its virtue?  What is the worth of Liberty?

Why is Liberty so maligned in the home of the brave?  Why has Liberty so lost its virtuous honor?  Why has Liberty so entrusted herself to man?  Why has Liberty?

What is the value of Liberty that men would commit treason to obtain it?  What is the value of Liberty that men and women would give their lives to obtain it?  What is the value of Liberty that men and women would dies to preserve it?  What is the value of Liberty?

When government becomes the dispenser of Liberty, then Liberty is not worth the paper it is written upon.  When Liberty becomes a word without meaning, then it is no longer an ideal.  When Liberty is lost, the villain is not government, but those who so freely gave it away.  When Liberty is traded or bartered in return for anything, then treachery has been committed against all creation.
