Paying the US bills

I found this article via another friends blog.  I think everyone should read it

Before this article is read I would like to say I am not condemning or promoting any political point of view or party.  I don't like paying higher prices or taxes to anyone, but have we all forgotten that the only way our government has to make money is by it's population and taxes?  And the only way to trim the fat from a budget is to sell off some things or stop using some things.  Just like at home you have to have a job to make money, you have a yard sale to get rid of extra things and you cut back on the cable or eating out to save some money. 

Politicians need to shut up and stop saying they know what we want, they don't, they don't listen to the majority of us.  Why don't they all go one month without a salary?  So many companies require their management to take a one week a year non paid vacation, why not our politicians do the same for a month. 

Make them see at their income level what it's like to live on ramen and egg sandwiches for weeks and that late night snack is a couple of carrot sticks and a glass of water. 

I am so tired of everyone blaming someone else for the messes they are in.  That goes for our government.  Stop pointing fingers and admit that there is a problem, with out blaming anyone and shut the F! up and trim the fat.

Not from our education, not from our military and not from our health and well being.  This country is your home and you can't pay for everything on your income and borrowing more is out of the question.  What would you do?
