I disagree with the contention that both parties are responsible. The Democrats are primarily responsible for the current growth in government since 2007.
Whether the Republicans can (or want to) reduce the size of government is yet to be seen. But, today, the Democrats are standing in the doorway, saying NYET to every attempt to cut spending or shrinking government. Witness their behavior over sequestration. Despite a 1% cut in spending, the federal government will still spend 15 billion more this year than last year. Yet the Democrats are screaming that the end of the world is at hand by cutting spending 1% even though more money will still be spent this year than last year.
Everything that the Democrats and Obama have said about the sequestration has been a lie. Everything. Including their pretense that the failure to control spending is a "bi-partisan" issue. It is not. From 2007 on, this has been a Pelosi, Reid, Obama (2009) show.
"A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone." ~ Robert Kiyosaki (1947-)
In 1996 I moved to Woodstock, Illinois, after having lived all over the U.S. It didn't take long to get involved in my lifelong traffic crusade, because I noticed that many drivers, including too many police officers, routinely ignored traffic laws. My traffic crusade led to an appearance on ABC's The View, and two invitations to appear on Court TV followed.
I started my first blog on April 15, 2007, to address perceived problems with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department and some local police departments. I have also advocated strongly for disabled students in Woodstock District 200 Special Education.
As a practicing hypnotherapist, I have a unique practice in this area, providing sessions to clients in the comfort of their own homes, rather than in a sterile office setting. I studied and worked with a retired D.O. who had begun using hypnotherapy in her California medical practice in 1950. Often, clients experience past-life events and relate them to current-life situations.
I ran for McHenry County (Ill.) Sheriff in the November 2010 General Election and came in Third with 5% of the vote. That’s the one and only time I’ve ever run for public office.
