Two facts neither party seems to have the courage to accept:

1. Taxes will have to go up
2. Spending will have to come down

The only question is how much deeper a hole we'll dig ourselves into before we as a nation find the courage to do what must be done. It's going to hurt, but it will hurt much less than pretending the problem doesn't exist until it all collapses.

The ONLY single goal that any politician has is to get reelected. They put that in front of everything else--regardless of what a mess this country is in.

Different speeches to suit the masses--and a variety of them--in case the group is conservative--moderate or liberal.

Hey--it's worked for decades. And when this country can have a Rev. Wright jump out of a candidate's closet during the primary season--and we still get that candidate for President--hey this country is already down the tubes.
