Feds don't need any more of our money

| October 22, 2013 7:00 AM

We gave our child a credit card with a $1,000 limit and told him to do a budget that would allow him to keep his spending reasonable. He refused to make a budget, ran his credit card to the limit and took money from our savings (government retirement funds). Now he wants us to increase his credit card limit and still refuses to do a budget. He keeps spending money on vacations and his friends (politicians) but cuts spending to those who need the money like retirees but not those who did not deserve it in the first place like illegals. He then blames us, the taxpayer, for causing this mess and gets upset when we ask him to stop spending money that he doesn’t have.

For those of you who don’t know, the government has no money. All the money our government has comes from us. He is spending your money. Should we give him more? Would you give your child more?
