Quotable
"If we raise taxes we will drive business and industry away from Tulsa."
-- Councilor John Eagleton, January 26, 2010
"It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of law into an instrument of plunder."
| Eagleton on the Federal budget: Time to prioritize expenditures, cut the less useful | | Print | |

Politicians like to say things like "balancing the budget by cutting waste." This implies a painless cure for our financial woes. Unfortunately, unless Congress has presided over a budget in which 43% of every dollar spent is waste we cannot get a balanced budget merely by cutting waste. I want my congressman to start cutting expenditures that are less useful than other expenditures. Only when we as a nation prioritize our expenses and only pay for those things that we can afford will our financial woes be resolved. I hope enough voters wake up to this reality between now and the next election.
