The government is running on a series of continuing resolutions. How big a deal is this? Potentially, it’s a very big deal.

[T]he man who helped craft the president’s disastrous 2012 budget (not to mention the forthcoming 2013 blueprint) will now lead all White House operations. Rejoice, lefties. That says a lot about this administration’s commitment to relatively apolitical budgeting.

West decries the lies and deceit in DC saying there is “too much manipulation of the American people going on.” He also says that Republican message in not getting to the American people. Out takes from Rep. Allen West’s weekly address. See the full video in our Allen West playlist where he examines the record of the Republicans sent to congress in the 2010 election.

[T]he average cost of compliance and government regulation is approximately $10,000 per employee! Why would you want to deal with these regulatory bodies when it’s much easier to go elsewhere with fewer restrictions, even in Communist China?

Who was the last person to actually cut government? Who was the last person who actually led a movement that balanced the federal budget? Who was the person that did that? (humming Jeopardy! theme) You’re not gonna take a guess? (interruption) That’s right, it was Mr. Newt! He was the last guy who gave us a balanced budget.

“unconnected to reality” Sen .Sessions rails at Obama’s “failure of leadership.” “In his first two years in office he increased discretionary, non-defense spending 24%. This year his budget calls for 10% increases in energy dept., education dept., state department … this is unconnected to reality.”

Responding to the failed super committee’s automatic “cuts” of $400 billion+ in defense on top of $450 billion in cuts already in progress, Rep. West outlines the effect on military readiness.

$1.2 trillion in cuts would not even cut the budget by $150 billion a year. We would still be talking about trillion dollar deficits way into the future.
