In a world where the IRS wastes millions on conferences, the national debt is nearly $17 trillion and reckless spending threatens to wreak havoc on the sleepy village of America, one man has come to save us all from debt and overspending. That man is Super Accountant! Otherwise known as Bob.

A few months ago, the administration insisted there was “no smart way” to avoid the sequester. Soon after, the White House cancelled tours indefinitely, blaming their “staffing reductions” on the spending cuts. However, The Washington Post recently discovered documents detailing the administration’s plans to go on a safari with a counterassault team during their upcoming trip to Africa.

Congress is doing whatever it can to avoid the consequences of living under Obamacare – and they’re not alone. Fear is spreading from Capitol Hill to insurers to employers, all concerned about implementation of the new health care law and the skyrocketing costs that are expected to come with it.

So a bunch of politicians are scratching their heads while deciding what to do about the debt ceiling. It seems as though they have “differing projections” of how bad our budget problems are. It’s odd that after all the dire warnings about the consequences of the debt, there could still be anything other than a consensus.

Problem solved; time to move on. That’s what Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said this weekend about the IRS scandal. But just a couple days earlier Democrat Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) was sounding the alarm that the IRS spending is just “one example of what’s going on in every agency in the country.”

After Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel dismissed the idea that increased funding would solve the problems at the IRS, Rep. Jose Serrano responded, “Are you sure you don’t want any more money?” If this is a glimpse into a “spend-it-or-lose-it” culture in Washington, the question is how many other agencies are operating the same way?
