Congress, on both sides of the aisles, has a responsibility to tell the President no, regarding his substantial spending initiatives. It can't continue like this. Someone needs to press the brakes on all this mad spending that makes no fiscal sense whatsoever. It's time to be sensible about this.   

It's time to stop spending so much taxpayer money

When one watches news reports on the subject, the Democrats and Republicans, are fighting and telling everyone within earshot they are doing the right thing and the other party is not. However, what message does each side think it sends the nation, when they cannot even agree on a middle ground, to strike a simple compromise. 

The Democrats in Congress are the biggest spenders, as they are liberals bordering on socialists, engaging in financial waste. The Republicans are more prudent when it comes to money, but they need to stop holding out for no tax increases on the rich, also known as their friends, as the Treasury needs the money. There needs to be a temporary tax increase. Where else is the money going to come from, with businesses posting declines in revenue.
