Can someone explain the apparent impossibility of creating a balanced national budget? At every level of government there are states, counties, and cities which operate on a budget which does not spend more than the revenue available. In the private sector there are companies both large and small which cannot operate on monies they do not have. And when it is necessary to borrow, there are established parameters for repayment. You and I are expected to balance our checkbooks - or lose our credit rating, and suffer other consequences.
Who is responsible for holding our federal government accountable? We the people! It is time we told our representatives in Washington to pass a balanced budget amendment, or they will be voted out of office. We should expect no less from them than we do of ourselves. There is no need for this spiraling debt.
President elect O'Bama wants us to see him as a catalyst for change. People of America -- WE are the REAL agents of change!
