Good angle. Too little, too late right now.
Actually, you may be right! We really have to decrease our spending by much more to sustain our credit rating.
The problem is that this Congress (Senate - President) do NOT understand that we are in dire straits...
So, the only thing that we can do is to limit what we can and hope for both a Senate vote and a Presidential vote to get total control. Only then will we be able to save the country...
Actually, the only hope for the country is for the election of Senators and a President that cares... Good luck with our current ignorant electorate...
