"If you are a federal employee, I think you need to start conserving whatever financial resources you have. Be very careful about large purchases. Make sure you have enough money at least for the mortgage, or the monthly rent and car payment and so on. Because this could be extended."On the face, this is sound advice. And, from this, one would believe that Representative Moran is a fountain of financial wisdom and restraint.
However, prior to the 2010 elections, Representative Moran was the chairman of the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee (and remains on it as the ranking Minority member). Which means he had a direct role in the current budget fiasco, specifically in that the 111th Congress did NOT pass a budget before adjourning. Plus, he's a long standing member of the "Tax and Spend" party.
Representative Moran could have helped PREVENT this situation. His decision to support the Democrat agenda, while offering such conservative financial advice to individual citizens (regardless of whom they work for), is a measure of the disassociation and hypocrisy that we face in Washington, DC, these days.
And it's insight to the people who voted for the financial problems that we face today. Even as we face a financial meltdown, they continue with their failed policies, and ignore the impact on the American people.
