When a Kindergarten fiscal Konservative asks, “How ya gonna pay fer it?” , here’s your answer.

On Republican rationale for “reforming” health care, education, and all the other pious patriotic talk about supposedly wanting our country to “live within a budget” …

Hell that’s what most of us have always had to do (well those of us who learned how to spend less than we take in). We’ve always done that.

So how come we don’t look at all our budget expenses and adjust spending according to legitimate Constitutional priorities , i.e. the “insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare” stuff?

How much – regardless of which party is in charge – are we spending on the following … and why?

Ask your Congresspersons that question. Ask them to tell you why we need to spend so much on this particular budget item at the expense of, say, universal health care, free college education, housing solutions for homelessness.
