Personally, I am not in favor of a rapid departure from Iraq. I have a number of reasons for this view in that belief, but it has nothing to do with supporting President Bush however. I think he's completely ineffective and incapable of leading us to either a victory in Iraq or even a safe, secure and peaceful withdrawal from Iraq.
But the truth is Republicans have been on a mad spending spree for seven years and the country just can't afford it anymore. It's time that we take away the credit cards from the Republicans, fire them, and bring in a new batch of politicians required to take a budgeting 101 course before they pass any legislation.
If we don't do this our deficit is going to skyrocket in ways that we can even conceive of today. As it is, we are all going to need to tighten up our belt buckles and save a few extra bucks and be a little bit more frugal in our spending. Things are getting too out of control with afluenza, consumerism, credit, sub prime predators, oil prices and inflation.
We have to pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and start fixing this thing from the bottom to the top. I came across a great article this evening, well it's almost morning now, that offers 101 ways to save one dollar a week. There's a great list here of a number of different things that you can do to save money each and every week throughout the year. You're going to need it, as a people we are all going to need it, and the example we set should help set the tone for our elected politicians to find 101 ways to save $1 billion every week. That's only $365 billion a year and it's not enough to bring down our deficit to a balanced budget again, but it's a start and it's a step in the right direction.
