Government Trying to save money

This article was over the government spending cuts and what they think that they want to do about our huge deficit. The article claims that the house has set up a plan that will save the government 6.2 trillion dollars in a matter of ten years. The problem with this cut is that it is going to take money from places that really need it. The money is going to come from various places but most notably was the cuts to Medicare for the elderly. The Democrats argue that the money will hurt seniors and the republicans say that it won't affect them.
The fact is that these people don’t even see how pitiful the American people think that they are. The truth is we are sick and tired of them trying to cut spending from this program or that program all the while their salaries keep going up. The average congressman makes $174,000 per year. This all when the average tax payer makes $50,221 per year that is a difference of $123,779. I am not trying to say that they shouldn’t get paid for what they do but this is crazy.  On top of all that they also get free health care for them and their families. So why they are trying to figure out how they are going to make us pay for our insurance they are calling the family doctor ever time that they get the sniffles and we are paying for it.
I don’t think that Americans are just going to sleep through this any longer. It is time we wake up and give these idiots in Washington their wakeup call. It doesn’t even matter anymore what side you are on democrat, republican, tea party, whatever they call themselves these days they are all only out for themselves. The republicans didn’t wake up during the election of 2008 and the democrats sure as hell didn’t wake up during the midterm elections. We as Americans need to stand up and tell them that we don’t want their crappy self serving government anymore. Yes we want change but not in the form of another smooth talking do nothing president. I vote that we get rid of everyone that has been in office politics for more than a year and get a whole new bunch of people in there that actually wants to make things better in this country.
No matter what side you are on you have got to agree that we need this government to stop and ask the American people what they want. It is supposed to be a government for the people by the people not a self serving piece of wasted space like most of the politicians we currently have in office now.
