Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Certainly, cutting spending is one of the things that can transcend to the federal government. I mean, I think the federal government has grown by leaps and bounds, and they need to look where do they need to cut.
Sometimes you have to make tough decisions to hold the line on spending.
To simply argue that public spending must always go up and never be cut is irresponsible.
We're failing when it comes to controlling spending.
It is being alleged that the Federal Government is 'cutting' spending. In fact, we are not 'cutting' anything. Defense spending under this budget would rise by 4.3 percent over last year. Other discretionary spending would also rise.

Every debate in Washington is about how much to increase spending - a little or a lot.
Cut back your spending now.
If you are spending too much, you cut back on spending and you raise your revenues. And that's it.
