What frustrates me is that during the GW's second run for President, they talked down the national debt as if it were no big deal. Now that it's a Dem in office running it up, it's suddenly a major deal again.
I'm not as upset about spending in general, but what things the money is spent ON. I keep hearing that Dems are tax and spend, but I've had a bigger tax cut through the stimulus package than I did through Bush's tax cuts all put together. It's all a bunch of rhetoric. They all spend more money than we have, just like most of our citizens are doing.
I would love for someone to stand up and point out the obvious: If you spend beyond your means, it is a problem. Whether it's the country, a business or individual citizens. GET OUT OF DEBT people. Do NOT mortgage your house to 100%+ equity. Equity in your home does not equal free money. This country is so incredibly wasteful and greedy. Everybody wants to have it all and we want it right now. If we were ALL more responsible, we wouldn't be in this mess.
