Making Government Smaller, More Efficient and Better

BY Administrator, ON NOVEMBER 09, 2009

Everyone in Washington these days seems to think more government is the answer to our woes. More spending, more taxes, more regulation and more nationalization of industries. It’s time to remind everyone that the opposite is true. In Congress, Steve Pearce was a member of WasteWatchers, the organization designed to help fight and reduce waste in government. Pearce also earned a reputation for opposing many new government spending bills. When Steve Pearce returns to Washington, he’ll work to reduce the size of government and fight back against the disturbing trend of government bailouts and nationalization of private industry.

By Victor S. Contreras Jr. - Chairman, Hispanos Unidos

(Hispanos Unidos is a non-partisan PAC based in Dona Ana County, formed to address election reform issues in New Mexico.)

Spending Hits Shocking All Time High For A Single Month

November 12, 2009 AP article by Martin Crutsinger and Daniel Wagner

The federal deficit hit a record for October as the new budget year began where the old one ended: with the government awash in red ink.

Economists worry that if such deficits continue it could push up interest rates, further dragging on the fragile economic recovery.

The Treasury Department said Thursday that the deficit for October totaled $176.4 billion, even higher than the $150 billion imbalance that economists expected.

The deficit for the 2009 budget year, which ended on Sept. 30, set an all-time record in dollar terms of $1.42 trillion. That was $958 billion above the 2008 deficit, the previous record holder.

October was the 13th straight month to show a monthly deficit — another record. It was the fifth-largest monthly deficit ever.

The imbalance came mostly from lower receipts of individual and corporate taxes. Receipts were $135.3 billion, a 17.9 percent drop from last October.

Spending dipped 2.7 percent to $311.7 billion. Last October's outlays were inflated by the $33 billion spent on the first round of financial bailouts at the peak of the financial crisis.
