Patriots, your immediate action on the information provided below is critical.
We need your help to stop this now. Tell them to keep their promise to stop overspending, and honor the spending limits set by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Any spending higher than that is a broken promise
That was then and this is now. Sadly Washington always seems to forget or overlook current law and just keep moving ahead without ever looking back. None of us want NEEDED programs to be cut or stopped nor do we want to continue to be seen as the people of “No” or to see the government shut down yet again. However, there is a point when we must stand for what is right. Our country is in a deep financial crisis and more spending coupled with more taxes is just not acceptable.
The fixed budget number for 2014 was set at $967 billion dollars this proposal would increase spending to $1.012 TRILLION dollars. For 2015 the number was $995 billion now they want $1.014 TRILLION. A two year increase of approximately $64 Billion. The days of saying one thing and doing another must stop.

The following information explains three major problems with the budget. (From Heritage) I will add other articles for your information at the bottom of this post.

1. It busts through supposed spending “caps.” The way Congress operates, it’s ridiculous for Members to set spending caps. They just keep busting right through them. The deal announced yesterday raises discretionary spending above the bipartisan spending agreement forged in 2011 as part of the Budget Control Act. Spending for defense and non-defense domestic programs would be raised by $45 billion in 2014 and by $18 billion in 2015.
Once again, Congress has fallen into its old and destructive habit of trading more spending in one area for more spending in another. This is a bad “compromise” that keeps increasing spending, when just a little more effort to eliminate bad government programs and reduce wasteful spending could have saved taxpayers money instead.

2. It taxes and spends. The agreement says that the increased spending is fully offset elsewhere in the budget, using a mix of spending cuts and non-tax revenue. Make no mistake, raising revenue to spend more is simply taxing and spending. If anything, automatic spending cuts could be exchanged for targeted spending cuts. Trading spending cuts for more revenue, however, grows the burden of government. After all, Washington suffers from a spending problem, not a revenue one.

3. It spends now and delays savings till later. The budget deal would spend $63 billion over the next two years—but take 10 years to make up for this splurge. This is a common Washington gimmick. To the conferees’ credit, the deal suggests one-third in additional deficit reduction—the details of which remain to be evaluated.
The budget conferees failed to make substantive reforms to the real drivers of spending and debt: the entitlement programs. Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) forged a deal that would increase spending immediately, while delaying deficit reduction till later and trading spending cuts for more revenue. Far from simply being another missed opportunity, this deal keeps the nation on its fiscal collision course.

Other tea party organizations, The Heritage Foundation, AFP, Freedom Works as well as several members of Congress are speaking out about the implications of the proposal.

The message to your Congress member is simple.
Tell them to “keep their promise to stop overspending, and honor the spending limits set by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Any spending higher than that is a broken promise.”
Call and/or email each of your Congress members. Those that might support this stance and those who do not as they all need to know where you stand.
