  1. I smell another messy 2008 on the horizon. It’s hard to even digest the number of zeros in a TRILLION, yet alone multiple trillions. Our nation’s debt is unsustainable and not a Democrat vs. Republican boondoggle — it’s our federal government in general.

This can keeps getting kicked by both parties and then it runs up to the last minute where they throw our fear and hysteria for political gain. If only we had competent leadership in all of government.
