    THe need to sacrifice
    I applaud You're commentary, Only "We the People", can get us out of this mess, and it will require sacrifice!Just like in a family budget, make some hard choices on what to cut and figure out how to bring in more cash. If all participate, the struggle will be less a burden, solved more quickly and be less a burden to the future generations.

    sacrificing for the better good
    There's a reason that our parents were among "The Greatest Generation"...they were willing to make the sacrifices that our generation won't. God help our next generations, if this is the example we're setting.
