Reducing the debt is a lot like reducing the US dependence on foreign oil. Folks from all sides of the aisle talk a good game until they get elected then it's porky, pork time for their district. More Fed $ coming to their district is great to get them re-elected... sucks for the nation as a whole. I always admired McCain for keeping his nose out of the barrel. I think it'll be interesting to see what Miller does in Alaska. I predict the equivalent of "bridges to nowhere" but I'm more then willing to be surprised.
