Give me a break. We may need to put in a stipulation regarding unforeseen national defense or disasters but we don't need to raise the limit for more useless cash for clunker like programs. We need to trim down as a nation both in weight and debt. We need to accept the private sector and what it can do. No Federal worker should be mowing grass, cleaning toilets or anything else than can be contracted out at a lower price with no pension obligations. Look out for the taxpayer above the government worker. Start there and the rest will fall in place.
