RE: Super power U.S.A
Sorry Jim I was on the beach throwing sticks for fannymae (Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog) to fetch. She wore me out man. I actually had to switch to tipping the Labatts with my left arm. Blue sky with big white puffy clouds and a nice on shore breeze. It doesn't get much better than that. Followed by grilled Tuna, fresh dug red potatoes and a fresh tomato basil mozzarella salad with white wine. Ahhhhhhh. To your post....Like lemmings over the cliff. I understand what you are trying to get at. I raised 3 kids, all girls and always told them to be leaders not followers. I had hoped by doing that theywould take the lead in all issues.Some times it works and other times not. Trying is the important part though. I also understand you can't treat world hunger with a sandwich. It is too big for one person or a small group to change. But...If you aren't part of the solution you are the problem"¦.Take the lead and ban Canned Hunting HNI. Hold the line and bring old time values back into the sport"¦.CI

The federal government uses a quaint accounting system that would be illegal for any large enterprise in America, and there are those who believe our government should be more transparent, or perhaps honest, if you will. One of those with a very unpopular wet-blanket attitude is David Williams of the Citizens Against Government Waste. "If this happened in the private sector, we would call the government 'Enron,' " Williams says.
With the basic financial problems this country has we still give money away at rates that would scare Warren Buffett.
Our great leader passes a drug progam that is not only pointless but unfundable.Social Security is under funded.
We are at war with a group of people that live at standard that is below whatmy dog lives.They are uneducated & overly religious ,a very dangerous pair.
The trade deficet sets a new record every month and China is at the top of the list.And it is China that is arming our enemies.Great friends.
With an election in three months are you hearing anyone speaking up with any ideas on how to turn the tide around?
Nope, and the last time they did (Perot), they weren't close to being elected. The imminent depression is very real, yet the sad fact is that the American people won't elect the person with the solutions, because it means tough policy and sacrifice. We're too worried about getting our share of free money to care about our children's future. [:'(]
Yes, the congress & president have been spending wildly on things not related to national security. That needs to change.
I find it "funny" that this article quotes congressman Jim Cooper, who is my congressional representative. He is no "fiscal conservative" &, with this his second go-round in congress, has gotten even more liberal in all facets of what he does.
USA.. a super power..
