Stop spending

The Spokesman-Review

Hey Dems, quit spending my money. Quit spending my kid’s money. In short, quit spending money, period. You don’t have it to spend.

The liberal government just thinks it can spend its way out of a problem. It does not work. It will not work in small business, it will not work in big business and it sure won’t work in government. Why don’t the liberal Democrats get it?

Obama and the likes in Washington, D.C., keep spending money that they don’t have. Does that work for you in your own home? Does more government spending mean more jobs? More government jobs maybe, but definitely not more private-sector jobs.

Everyone who voted for Obama, raise your hand. So, how’s the “change” working out for you? The genius that is president and commander in chief of our military has never had a real job, never made an executive decision and never served one day in the military. By his actions, he certainly never had to live within his means or balance his checkbook. Hey, Obama, here is some economic advice: Quit spending money that you don’t have. It works for me.
