"The Budget and Accounting Transparency Act - Rep. Scott Garrett" 

From House Republicans

I'm actually disappointed in this new House GOP budget reform plan. And I know to be disappointed you have to expect something good that didn't happen. Like getting a new job, buying a house, whatever the case is or something awful happens to you that you weren't expecting like your kid being arrested or someone not able to come to your party or something. 

I would never vote for any of the House GOP budget plans, because it would force a lot of people who are unfortunately dependent on these Federal programs to drop out and go to the private sector. Instead of giving them the freedom of choice to do that for themselves. But I do like the new line-item-veto plan that was proposed by Representative Paul Ryan and Representative Chris Van Hollen (the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Budget Committee) that I support. But thats it from the House GOP. And I like the idea of them trying to force the Federal Government to pay for all of its operations. 

I just wish House Republicans and broader Republican Party believed in fiscal responsibility during the Bush Administration when they controlled Congress and not just the House. And then they would have some credibility and we probably wouldn't be in the budget mess that we are in today, ut thats a different story. I do give them credit for at least being bold with the Ryan Plan, even though I would never vote for it. But this new plan is not only not a good idea, bringing all of these failing Federal agency's under the control of the Federal Government, but it's not bold either. 

The U.S. Postal Service is going bankrupt right now because instead of being run as an independent service, it has to ask Congress when it can go to the bathroom. And thats just one example. When they can blow their noses, eat lunch. Well, that might be slight exaggerations, but it's not run like the non-profit company that it should be 

If you want to win support of the American people, be big and think big by going big, while at the same time doing it in an intelligent matter. Don't stand in front of mice thinking you're the largest man in the world, when you're only 5'7 and way 150 pounds. Don't come out with broad reforms at one point without thinking them through like turning Medicare into a voucher system and then the next plan bring more control back to the Federal Government.
