The Pancake Government

The United States Government has effectively voted against every budget measure put forth in a game of politics. Theres a big difference in playing with leverage when it comes to policy making, campaigns, and even April Fools commercials, but NOT with the Federal Budget. Regardless of whether the Republicans put out a bill of $61 Billion in cuts, Capitol Hill has an obligation to put money in the pockets of our government so we can effectively run our nation. How are we supposed to support our troops, when every single soldier overseas isnt getting a paycheck? For many military families, this means that a stay at home mother with kids wont be getting ANY money, and the soldier over seas is STILL fighting for our freedom. What does this mean? You cannot blame Republicans for what is happening. They presented a budget. It matters not if it was good or bad, the Democrats had no right to do this without an alternative budget proposal. It is scandalous and outrageous. It is a political move that will inevitably drive the Democrats to their demise in the coming elections.

Our government has essentially cut off any ability to continue the Wars overseas. What is greater, is that we have now engaged in a War with Libya these past few months. The United States Government is a pancake government. What does this mean? This means that every so often, something gets underneath it and flips everything upside down. Just a few years ago we heard all the accusations in the book about President Bush. We heard how he was his daddies boy in the White House, accusations of War Crimes, and much more. The best of all, however, was that he was out for Oil. 'Really?' I thought to myself. Afghanistan is about Oil? So killing 4000 Americans on September 11 isnt a reason to defend freedom anymore? Seventeen ignored United Nations Human Rights resolutions and a near-holocaust replay against the Islamic Kurds, yet George Bush is a War Monger? How about that War in Libya? Why are we there? What American Interests do we have in Libya? 

There is a big difference in invading a country because they are on the verge of holocaust, and invading a country based on a leader that is an incumbent tyrant. That is an issue of their nation to deal with, not something the United States needs to deal with. If anything, the United Nations ought to be settling the issue. Granted, IO's are starting to take over, but the United States initial invasion and rockets were totally uncalled for. President Bush actually let the House and Senate know he was invading before he actually sent troops, before the Declarations of War. President Obama, on the other hand, has hardly done so. The rockets were followed by news feeds from inside sources, and the President released statements after the press and media already alerted the nation. What kind of Presidency and nation have we come to? A President who handpicks    Congressman to write a healthcare bill behind closed doors, we fail to pass a budget, that way we can deploy troops and not pay them. This truly is the Pancake Government, now we see who is really fighting a War over oil. 

The only hope for the GOP and Republicans is if they win the 2012 elections and reverse everything the Democrats have done. A Budget must be passed, entitlements must be slashed by more than sixty percent, and we need to start balancing our budget. Who is the man for the job? Donald Trump. You hear that name, and may start to laugh, but he wouldn't be the first celebrity president our nation has seen. Just thirty years ago we had a famous actor, Ronald Reagan, as our President. Donald Trump is a wealthy man, and it was no accident that he is such. Trump is a man who knows money, and right now that is our biggest problem. He is a man that is hardly afraid to say NO to other nations when it comes to foreign aid, and has the guts to pull funding where it ought not be. 

Only time will tell what happens with this Pancake Government. Will it be flipped once again, and produce good changes? Or will we keep burning like we have been? With a fourteen trillion dollar debt, now is hardly the time to play political games, but as you can see, there are some people on Capitol Hill that just don't care.
