The Obama administration has set fourth on a campaign to expand the size and scope of government like never before. Obama has spearheaded a government takeover of almost every part of the private-sector economy one can think of. This is why this the announcement has come as such a shock to many Americans. Why is Obama all of a sudden trying to practice fiscal restraint after proposing the largest budget of all time and adding more debt to our debt than all presidents from Washington to Reagan combined?
Could this be an effect of the recent midterm election? Is Obama going to take the route followed by Clinton or is he going to be a rubber stamp for the agenda of the Lame-Duck Congress? Will he come towards the center or remain on the left, pushing legislation down our throats that we outwardly reject?
This proposal to cap the pay of approximately two million federal workers is a step in the right direction, but I would still not qualify this action as a good one. The federal work force is massive and being funded by money we don't have. One of the first things we must do to get our fiscal house in order is to balance the budget, and to do this civil servants must take part of the hit.
