The Austerity Myth: Federal Spending Up 5% This Year - Investors.com

More Proof that our government is run by greedy pigs in congress. The only way to reverse this theft by politicians is to close down the Department of Energy, EPA and Department of Education to start with, then close and reform other Federal agencies as needed. If the greedy politicians are not stopped and these agencies are not closed or reformed, America will fall from within as Abraham Lincoln warned us.

How Much Do Gas Prices Affect Austin’s Economy? | Alliance for Public Transportation

Pelosi's destructive policies caused this current recession. In 2007 Nancy Pelosi attacked Oil producers thereby driving the price of gasoline up to as high as $5/gallon in some places. Below is an example of what it cost just one area in Austin TX. Because of Pelosi, Americans spent over $650BILLION more a year on Gasoline and energy there by taking all that money out of the economy and peoples pockets to pay their mortgages and credit cards.

"Central Texans are expending a good portion of their treasure on commuting. Here’s another way to look at it: Gasoline costs per capita went from $1098/year in 2000 to $3028/year in 2008. (2009 CNT) That’s greater than inflation (which excludes gas volatility) The five county area had 1.64 million people in 2008 (COA demographer), meaning that those people spent $3.2 billion (3,180 million million) more on gas than that same number of people would have spent in the year 2000."
