char-you and I often disagree, but it is surprising what we do agree on.

Right now things are humming along because we keep finding people/nations to invest in america, or support our spending fanaticism. But like a guy on a credit cards, sooner or later the guy has more going out than going in just to cover his payments, just like the USA is now. You just cannot do that too long before the day of reconing becomes the day of truth.

Our oil addiction is what is fueling this debt binge. We need to pull all the troops home, put them to work in the private sector, put a lid on the illegals drain to mexico and other home countries, stop all international aid to other countries, drop all but a few of our bases. Then stop all but the most CRITICAL programs going on here at home, and get a solid alternate fuel source.

Once that is done, we can slowly work on internal programs for the USA and F>>> the rest of the world for a while.

We need to get our own house in order before it is too late.
