Wow! Your catching on albeit a bit slowly, not something we all expect that you are in a leadership position, the catbird seat. While we love the guy we’re looking for a sign here that he understands the magnitude of the problem we face, maybe now is that time. Let’s put our minds together and visualize the bumper sticker with the word “HOPE” on it.

He’s a likable guy but we are going to hammer on him like he’s precious metal until we (the American people) mold him into the President he needs and “wants” to be. His job is tough with too many irons in the fire yet he needs to come to the realization that like it or not “deficit neutral spending” is not the answer to our current problems.

The fact is we face an increasing confidence problem with the rest of the world and it will only grow until we find the answers to our national debt management; and this doesn’t include spending more money we don’t have right now. Let’s get out and turn this thing around.

Is it time to get back to “constitutional thinking”? Maybe clearing the deck of those who support ideologies that conflict with our country’s founding premises would be a good starting point. Should we all congregate and have a national beer together? Barak your leading on this one, again.

What is “deficit neutral spending”? Anyone?

Deficit-Neutral. A term applied to legislative bills or proposals that pay for themselves over some budget period—for instance, by having in a single proposal tax increases that fully offset in value the proposed expenditure increases.

I think we all know that this type of thinking doesn’t work around here where monies collected for project A are typically re-allocated to the area of most need, i.e. project B.

We would appreciate your honest reflection and carefully chosen direction to guide the ship to calmer waters. Clear your negative baggage for the trip and if you need help we’re here for you.
