[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 33869, member: 126"] Re: 2011 U.S. Budget Cut in Perspective The world will survive this crisis too. If you think about it, it's not like some pandemic killing billions of people... We'll be uncomfortable for a while but get through this. The recent development that I am encouraged about is more regular americans who would normally only pay passing attention to politics every 4 years, are now paying attention full time, and actually voting every two years, mainly because they don't like what they see. I don't see just partisan bickering, but a third voice mainly from libertarian and tea party types arguing in defense of the constitution, often at odds with both established parties (while they do seem a little more comfortable caucusing with the right). Too many people are looking to government for what they can get from it... The government doesn't have it's own wealth. Everything it gives away it first took from us, or borrowed in our name. Like pogo said, "we have met the enemy and he is us". JR [/QUOTE]
