More Common Sense - Less Hyperbole Please
About: new common sense: got principles? the ryan budget does.

Credit allows us to sail right past empty with the promise of putting more coins in the purse. In a way that is betting on the come, i.e. betting you will have the income when you don't have it yet.
Government pretends it's so complex that a basic citizen just can't understand it. That is mainly because of size & the habit of multi-year budgets that rarely get adjusted other than ad hoc. Add to that the 3-card monte approach to spending where it is really hard to find how much is being spent where & chaos is the result. Mismanagement is a result. Governments always look for more income by raising taxes. There is no incentive to cut spending except political pressure or bankruptcy. After all, government jobs & politicians depend upon other people's money - they have no business revenue of their own.

This you should know already. What a well thought out budget does is create government integrity. The integrity thingy is just this: Say what you are going to do & then do what you said. No spin, lies or BS qualify as integrity.
Heritage has an article which outlines the House of Representatives passed budget from a common sense approach. The hyperbole is gone. The political branding is not there. Links are provided to other evidence where needed.
All together we have 8068 legislators & governors & a president who are the primary representatives of We the People. Additionally, there are 9887 judges including SCOTUS, Federal & state judges who also affect our lives. That's a grand total of 17,955 people out of 313,338,704 in the USA who spend, appropriate, & mind the business of governing. That's .00573% of US. That's truly something to think about the next time we vote. That's about 6 in every 100,000 people elected to have the responsibility to do the job. We the People outnumber them!
