The headline that greeted me on the Washington Times site talked about something we have needed for a long time. I know it is spun as an attack by mean Republicans on decent, hard working DACAs but in reality it a gesture toward the government doing what it needs to do: Cut spending.
Tax cuts are well and good but they are just candy being given out to childish people by evil clowns. They are bribes for votes. All we are missing is the white vans. If the clowns ever want to become super-heroes then they will pull spending cuts out from under their capes. Of course that is like offering fat children broccoli instead of chocolate.
I would be willing to let the taxes stay as they are if the government would simply limit next year’s spending total to the same dollar amount it was this fiscal year. In order to make it work there would be no adjustments for inflation or cost of living. There would be no escape clause for emergencies. It would be just like my allowance as a kid. Here is your money. Spend it as you please. Don’t bother asking for more.
We need to grow up and be the parents to the children in congress.
Slap their hands and vote the suckers out.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
