I heard once that Government spending included Congressmen getting huge Government grants for schemes in their areas. To pander to voters. Maybe that's an area the Tea Party should be looking at and making sure there's no spending in in their districts.


I see Bachmann talks good and thinks it applies to others.

Nice quote.



Cut all Farm Subsidies to profitable farmers, raise food prices to cover the loss and open non profit shops for the poor. That would cut Government spending. Especially in Minnesota

Yes Government spending needs to be cut. But government spending = Someones wage packet. If that person resides in the US that will effect the US economy.

The only way for the US to get out of this mess is spending cuts, tax rises and increased production/exports. And less reliance on imported consumer goods.
