They most certainly do not, but then again I never said that they did. However like the article says a President inherits a creation of all his predecessors. He chooses the direction he want's to point it during his term on watch. So far Obama has chosen to continue to grow the government. You can't deny it. How many new federal agencies are going to be created as a part of Obamacare? 150 or so?
I want him to shrink the Federal government not grow it. I
don't want him to cut vital services like my states legislature does when they are trying to justify a tax increase. You know, like how they'll announce they had to fire a dozen cops or teachers, instead of the two fatcat directors who don't do anything but go to "planning meetings" in Aruba and Las Vegas. Oh no we need them to manage things. The three multimillion dollar feasibility studies we had W E Fleeceum and Associates do for us last year proved it.
The problem is as I see it we pay our income taxes backwards. We should be paying the highest percentage of income taxes to our state, then maybe 5% of that to the Feds for common things like national security and interstate highways and national parks.
Instead the lions share of tax revenue from the whole country goes way off to Washington only to have a small portion of it, maybe, doled back to us with a ton of strings attached and the rest squandered away in various pork projects and other costly boondoggles. It's a very inefficient and gaffe prone method of managing our affairs.
Now of the two candidates only Romney has shown that he can fix financial messes which I think we can all agree is the number one job that we need the next administration, whoever it is, to do. I just don't see a reelected but now lame duck Obama administration getting that job done.
