We've told our kids the same thing. I'm proud to say, they are finally 'getting it.' Our country needs some 'down home' understanding. Those in charge, persay, need some speed bumps to keep them on the right track.<br />BlessYaDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-46200613174378370132012-10-07T20:55:46.045-04:002012-10-07T20:55:46.045-04:00Great post, Jack!

The Gutless Old Party too often lacks the will to stand up to the big spenders on the other side for fear of being demagogued.

We all know the value of a dollar and that dollar isn't what it used to be at all. I've had to live with cut backs for a long time...doing without things others consider a necessity, There is a big difference in what we want and what we really need. I've always had all I've needed, thank the dear Lord. It's a chilly wet dark day here, but went to church and am refreshed once again for a new week. Did I say I how blessed I am? Hope you all have a great Sunday there!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-27944762882878432972012-10-07T11:18:44.819-04:002012-10-07T11:18:44.819-04:00Totally agree, Jack.

That is common sense not to spend more than one takes in, no matter who that person is. And sometimes we have got to say "no" to something we might want if we can't fund it; as hard as that might be. We are definitely in the problem we are in because there were too many "yes" and not enough "no" and too much money going out the door based on what was coming in. It does "hurt" to be on a budget and have to deny ourselves things, but in the long run it is the only way we're ever going to get a balance budget and not be so much in debt. Let's hope in the coming month with the election, people will see we need someone in office who really knows how to run a business and can start making better decisions on how to stop spending and start saving and paying off debt!<br /><br />Enjoy Sunday!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-1788529713518371722012-10-07T10:44:24.760-04:002012-10-07T10:44:24.760-04:00Actual budget cut would be $385, not $3.85, but th...Actual budget cut would be $385, not $3.85, but the rest is true. Bottom line is that it is hard to right the ship, and it will take a group of people truly committed to the future generations to make it happen. Our primary focus in government and business is tactical short term issues, not long term solutions. Just kick the can down the road.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.com
