It takes a massive amount of energy to just slow down, much less get it to change direction.

Keep taking bites and keep coming back for more.

Now there are three of you to vote on your 10% cuts per year plan before it passes.

House, the Senate and the president. You obviously vote YES! The other two vote NO! You feel good about your vote, but you get nothing. What has changed?

14 Trillion may seem like a big number today. You will be able to put it in a parking meter I two years...
