Mike,
Very well thought out and very well delivered. You sum it up nicely. Add several other small items as part of the fiscal insanity such as continuing to fund the postal service instead of giving it to Fed Ex or UPS, the unfunded liability in Medicair and SS, and an administration that thinks it can buy anything no matter the cost and we have a perscription for disaster.
Balanced Budget Amendment, Term Limits,and rid our Congress of all incumbants regardless of the party and the cure begins. My order is backward because we won't get item #1 or #2 until we the people purge the halls of government.
The real sad thing here is practically every state has hundreds of billions of unfunded liability problems as well. I used to dismiss Beck as a nambling naysayer of negativity. Unfortunatley the guy has it right regards the fiscal incompetance.
