re: #407 Wendya

It’s amazing how no one bitches about money spent on projects they like. That makes us different from the democrats, how?

I’ve bitched about it. I think it’s a fundamental issue on how government spends it’s money, and I don’t pick and choose the programs, because it’s the very foundation I attack.

It is the way government has established the means of how they fund and spend. Examples- baseline budgeting, programs having to spend every dime in order to assure the same level or increases of funding the next year or face budget cuts, programs that overlap each other, etc. These are real fiscal issues in Washington and various states. The problem is not where government spends our money per se, it’s the how.

I cannot be the only person in this country who thinks that spending/funding reform is fundamental. Where is the party on this? What did I hear last night that would convince me that this sort of real reform is up and coming in our party’s agenda? Nothing.
