You make some good points about the debt ad how we got here. We just can't keep going at this rate. The Canadian dollar is equal to and at times higher then the US's. We keep going at this rate and it will be one to one with the Japaneses Yen.
But while you blame the elected officials, I blame the people who keep voting for them.

It's a cycle. Politicians get those people to believing their promises and where they stand on issues. Don't know if you remember Bush Sr's "read my lips. No new taxes!" Nope...just increased ones. Here in NJ, Corzine made the same "promise" then in less than 6 months our sales tax went from 6% to 7% and he's trying to get us to swallow his proposal for a 200% increase in road tolls and add tolls to the three interstates that go through NJ. To "cut spending", he wants to release prisoners and mental patients, yet the state spent millions renovating a mental hospital that isn't being used.
Hey, I didn't vote for him...
