Helping Keep People in Their Homes
Republicans plan to cut Federal spending $100 Billion this year, calling the administration, agencies, and spending "job-killing".
Out of control borrowing has created an enormous deficit that Republicans hope to start erasing, on top of even more enormous future, unfunded liabilites in pension and health care areas.
How does one shrink the Federal Government and not cause a deccrease in the economy. the GOP thinks the private economy will pick up the slack and create jobs and wealth the government never can.
This is juxtaposed with the many safety jobe the government does from, military, border patrol to food and drug, among many others. Would as many people still have homes if the government wasn't trying to keep people in them? Would the crisis have happened if Fannie mae and Freddie Mac had not existed and participated in the bundling of mortgages into securities?
We will see which side, and philosophy wins in the future - meanwhile debt piles up - is Congress fiddling?
