At this point, I believe both the left and the right are practicing “voodoo economics” (to quote Bush I) when it comes to the the United States’ economy and ever increasing debt.

All I know is that I’m tired of the talking, the whining, the complainin­g, the pontificat­ing, the arguments, the fake outrage, the meetings, the commission­s, the soundbites­, the polls, and the town halls that Congress and our presidents have put us through year after year. Enough. We are not children who can’t handle bad news. We already know it’s bad, many of us are living proof. So stop wasting our time and do your damn job.
