The President doesn't get it.

“I’d rather be talking about stuff that everybody welcomes – like new programs,” he said at a recent press conference.
That would be the President. Maybe that's his problem, the President thinks we want new programs. No, I don't want new programs.  In fact, I would like to see some existing programs shut down. Since that "everybody" of whom he spoke clearly doesn't include me, the President would be wrong, again. Everybody DOESN'T welcome new programs. These knuckleheads in Washington think everyone wants new programs and higher spending on existing programs. I believe those who are not affiliated with either the Republicans or the Democrats want a currency which doesn't lose value on a daily basis, enforcement of the Constitution, and honesty and integrity from the people we elect to represent us. Not a great deal to ask. Why would we want new programs? You can't run the existing programs.
