Amen!

And IMO more emphasis on tech degrees vs. college degrees to support those manufacturing efforts.

I'm fine with taxes going up... it won't affect the way I live one iota. But I'm squarely in the camp of cutting spending. America has become totally irresponsible. It's embarrassing to me personally that we have to borrow. That's not the way I run my household. That is NOT the role of government. It's not proper leadership. And it makes the country "beholding" to other countries such as China.

When you borrow from someone and must do so in the future as well - it makes it pretty hard to get in their face about other "stuff"...

Basically I'm sick of America being on WELFARE in order to provide welfare.

I'm kinda torn on the unemployment extensions... I know two people on unemployment right now - 99 weeks worth - neither one are looking for a job - they're "resting and vesting". It's like WTF -- that's almost a two year vacation!

I'm equally certain that there are people that are really really hurting and need this extension. So once again - we come back to the government doing a really piss poor job of running these handouts.
