Will the Senate Cut Overspending?

Your tax dollars are being spent to promote sparkly styling spray for dogs, a study on the healthfulness of peas, lentils and garbanzo beans, and even to encourage bird watching. An article in this week’s Washington Examiner points out that these are just a few of the thousands of companies receiving tax dollars through the Market Access Program. And corporate giants like Blue Diamond, Sunkist and California Raisins get the biggest financial boost. These companies have received more than $93 million in federal funding from MAP.
MAP – a $200 million a year program – is just one of many programs ingrained in farming legislation.
Fortunately the US Senate is looking at cutting some programs like MAP. Senator Tom Coburn, R-Okla. shares this concern: “The time has come to debate whether the federal government should be in the business of promoting private-market goods to foreign buyers.”
As the Farm Bill is up for debate in the US Senate, keep an eye out to see if the Senate can cut some of these programs.
Overspending along with excessive borrowing have become normal with recent years of government, they are the only ones not feeling any withdrawls from the economy, very sad ,ause they are not helping americans, only illegals, and non allied countries.
If we knew who got what we could fight back at the grocery store. Someone let us know who and how much.
Lets not forget the $181 Million spent researching the affects of cocaine on birds. Then the latest, providing condoms for Birth control. Now I don’t know how you feel but in my view if you use a condom its to have sex for pleasure. Now why should my tax dollars be going to strangers I don’t know so they can have sex for fun? Its fine to do this but not at my expense. Then they want to tax more because they don’t have enough. 42 billion a year going to kids in mexico from the IRS who have never been in the country. The IRS knows but does nothing. There are thousands of things like this going on. The question was will the senate cut spending. NO because even they don’t know were alot of the money goes because its gotten that out of hand.
The Tea Party is the collective of concerned citizens. It would be fair to say that the vast majority of Tea Party empathetic individuals hate government’s size and wasteful spending.
Does anyone remember the Grace Commission Report? Reagan and Peter Grace did much research to identify government waste. We need a revised edition of that very well researched original. We can make those spending cuts now!
