I love how the GOP defends how the wealthy are taxed twice, so increasing their rate ir wrong. Why are middle income Americans forced to pay full tax rate on our savings nd investments? The money I put in my bank and credit union is used to help stimulate the local economy just as a wealthy person's investments and savings do on a larger scale. One or the other system should be corrected, not ignored as part of a political psition.
I am appalled at the GSA waste, but this waste by government has been bred my Congress. Everytime a budget is passed for agencies, it is approved by Congress with line by line items. If money is not spent, that agency will not get the same funds the following year. If Congress wants to address something, why not make Agencies be fiscally responsible while still accomplishing their missions. When I was in the military it was the same way. At the end of the fiscal year, if all your budget wasn't used, you were not going to get the same amount the following year. And for Congress to lash out other agencies is just asenine! How much do they waste yearly? Millions!
