It is time for all citizens to recognize our true situation. We are a country that is broke and our government shows no sign of a positive solution. If you are in financial straights there are three basic options; reduce spending, get a second job or find a better paying one, or declare bankruptcy. The government has those same options, reduce spending, increase taxes or declare bankruptcy. The irony of the situation is that they are doing nothing to correct the problems, if anything they are increasing the problems. So they increased taxes on the wealthy, but are proposing cutting down on our so-called entitlements. Now add the unreasonable cost of Obamacare and offering medical to the 10 million illegal immigrants in our country. Top that off with the impending spending cuts being discussed with loses of about 800,000 jobs that will spiral the unemployment benefits. Face it, our economic problems are like a snowball rolling down a s teep hill, growing by every revelotution and our politicians are playing politics rather than working to resolve anything. Our brilliant leaders got us into this situtation and the on-going wars but I believe they are so self-centered or stupid they see no way of correcting their own mess. It is only a short time when reality will set in and the good old USA will be destroyed in the process. We can no longer sit and wait, we must demand results.
