No cutting spending wont kick start anything but its what must be done. would you rather take a hair cut today or 6 months from now get beheaded and get nothing. the math is imposible and we will defalt if not next month it will happen a year from now when we have to raise the debt again or through hyperinflation to inflate the debt away

I think maybe you spend too much time in places like this reading over this BS.. Its about like the war on terror, in the end its not going to be so bad. But hey, if FOX "News" can keep you afraid of it, they will.

I'd rather make sure poor children eat in the next six months and use the time to attempt to increase jobs. You know, those children of the workers you laid off.
The damage has already been done - don't think jobs are going to come back (even slowly) just because spending is reduced. Look at your history, there isn't a correlation between government cuts and an increase in jobs. Jobs are created by innovation or a response to sometype of critical event (disaster or war).

Your country has been the beacon of liberty for many a century.
I say this with the greatest compassion, for you are on the verge of entering a very special time indeed. Your civil liberties are being removed until only the American/human-being is left. Only the person. Nothing else packaged around it to prevent it from seeing who and what it really is.
You are the most amazing nation and see in the "American" the greatest innovation and ability to 'market' ice to an Eskimo. On the planetary 'company' spaceship, meandering through space, the USA represents innovation and marketing to the rest of us.
You are the country of friendly people who say "Have a nice day" from the heart and that of long, slinky Cadillacs cruising the boulevard.

can I move in and be your neighbor..where do you live??
We are in the US and I hate it..I'm beginning to hate this place more and more everyday. We are looking into Germany(because my dh can transfer there). I don't know what it's like in Germany but i am certainly willing to give it a shot. I am so sick of everything here...bad food-crap media/tv-no jobs, loss of almost anything good or decent.
I feel stressed and mad and unhealthy living here. I hate that almost everyone I know is one missed payday away from suicide..it's truly disgusting and very confusing.
