Taxes will only accomplish so much. Tax the rich 100%, and I guarantee the politicians will just fritter it away on cowboy poetry, bombing the third world, or some such nonsense. The money that GM allegedly paid back, did it go into the debt, or the pork barrel?

It seems quite elementary to me, cut spending. Between Bush and Obama the federal government has expanded geometrically. I would post a link, but then the question will never enter the queue.

Maybe it is time we ended some pointless overseas incursions. We are not there to win anyway.

And maybe Grandma can move into the spare bedroom. Because Social Security is bankrupt.

And how about we quit electing politicians by the amount of pork barrel spending they bring home?
Don’t give me that "Bush did it" hogwash.His first day in the Oval Orifice, the nation was already trillion in debt. That 6 billion budget "surplus" was an illusion.

I just was watching news ticker on bloomberg channel and it says ”that oil is expected to rally/go up to or higher before mid-summer because of demand rebounding.What is all of this nonsense when we are in a global recession,people losing their jobs left and right,’’supposed to be conserving energy”,’’supposed to switch on to alternative energy & off-shore oil drilling”(what pres.obama promised in his campaign),auto makers possible bankruptcies and more possible lay-offs,people ‘’supposed to have been driving less”,and supposed to be buying small compact fuel efficient hybrid type vehicles.Were you’ll serious about carrying out these stuff or were these just empty threaths that played right into opec trap?
Will it be like 2007/2008 and wait until crude oil get back to over 5 a barrel then make more false threaths to OPEC with absolutely little to no action to back it up?
