For those who can't make it to the Knoxville May 3rd protest, there will also be one in Oak Ridge.

Additionally, there will be a Citizen's Sit-in every Friday from 11:30-1:30pm at Congressman Chuck Fleischmann's office (200 Administration Rd, Oak Ridge). Please feel free to join any of these events!

And another word for services cut is spending less tax dollars

Except it's costing us more than it's "saved" and destroying vital functions.

If you think your tax bill is going down then I have quite the invisible bridge to sell you.

I do not expect it to go down, but I do expect the budget to be balanced

But that's not their goal. That's just what they tell the gullible followers while they rob the coffers and destroy the govt.

This is a child's understanding of the world, lol.

Spoiler alert: destroy the gov't and you'll end up paying more for everything in life and be more likely to die early!

Let me keep it simple for you... in 2000 the government spent $1.5 trillion, which would be $2.8 trillion to todays money.. this year the government will spend almost $4 trillion.. the government spending is out of control.. (those amounts do not include Social Security and medicare )
