‘It is shameful and disgusting that this terrible spending for completely insane ideas has happened, while our National Debt is driving us into bankruptcy’

Now that so many insane federal government expenses have been uncovered, those responsible for them need to be held accountable. If they are still in office, they need to be fired or voted out of office. It is shameful and disgusting that this terrible spending for completely insane ideas has happened, while our National Debt is driving us into bankruptcy, while citizens of our own country are homeless and many near starvation. From now on only candidates that promise to vote for a BALANCED BUDGET should be voted in. Our Federal Government and many state governments have become such monstrosities, trying to regulate so many things that they have no business doing, with no end to new, unnecessary costs and problems. As we have in the last many years now, become more and more ungodly, our formerly godly country with common sense laws and government, our national debt has gone up in direct proportion to our ungodliness, to the point that we are almost bankrupt, when we will not be able to pay the interest on the debt, along with the entitlements of Social Security , Medicare, Retirement Funds, etc., etc., etc. God is removing His blessings from us, and the only real solution for us is to turn back to God.
