Dear Bobby, If you spent all the money in your bank account, and you didn't plan to put any more money into it, would you close the account? How about if the bank charged you a fee to keep that empty account open? You'd definitely close it then, right? It's common sense. This is going to make you mad: the federal government is paying fees on 13,712 empty bank accounts. That's according to the Washington Post this week. And instead of closing the accounts, the federal government is paying $890,000 in fees for . . . nothing.  Where does that $890,000 come from? Your taxes. It's time the government lived within its means.  The Heritage Foundation has identified a long list of wasteful government spending, as well as unnecessary and duplicative programs that can be canceled. If Congress were to cut these, we could save $150 billion -- which could start us on the path to a balanced budget and a more limited government. Will you help us to get our plan to Congress? We are hosting a money bomb for limited government next Tuesday, April 30. Find out more here >> Thank you for everything you do to keep our government accountable. Sincerely, Sen. Jim DeMint President
