Yes, the federal budget IS ridiculous, but that is not going to change until Democrats are thrown out of power - AND THEN, the Republicans are going to have to stay true to their word and actually strive to shrink the budget and gut the federal bureaucracy. Unfortunately, the Republicans are often not trustworthy in doing what they say they want to do. That being said, most Democrats are treasonous scum and it is not time to screw around with the House leadership when the margin of votes is so slim.
