We are almost $20 TRILLION dollars in debt, our infrastructure is crumbling, our military is weak, we have a drug problem, our cities are hurting, our borders are not secure, our veterans are neglected, and our education lags behind much of the world. Fixing this will be painful and require sacrifice. Sacred cow programs will be cut, projects will be unfunded, government agencies and employees will be downsized or cut.
Stop whining, none of this has to be permanent but it does have to be done. No person or entity can spend its way to prosperity. Solid financial footing is liberating. Ask anyone who has paid off their debts. I am so tired of people thinking that the problems of life can be fixed without pain. Please grow up, be the adult, set the example. Not in my backyard, not my favorite cause, not my family? Yes, your life, my life, everyone's life will be impacted. I'm happy to do that so my grandchildren don't inherit the mess we have now. No blame, there is enough to go around. Just solutions.
