Well something has to be done. Its not as if there are no Democrats in the Tea Party and I am sure there must be a few Union members also. I do not accept that we are as far apart as our fearless leaders in the congress, the senate and even the white house try to portray. It is becoming one big arm wrestling contest between the parties and the price is a big loss no matter which arm breaks first. Realistic compromise is a must. I don't want everything the Tea Party is DEMANDING, but we sure as &^% can't survive forever the way the money is running out of Washington.
Wait a minute, the weather is keeping us from getting on the road, so I have a few more thinks to voice here.
Would it not work if each party started putting money back like say:::::
Cut programs that each side wants, one at a time measured in dollars.
Call them temporary cuts, and put a startup time on them being when the economy can afford them again.


Now if that don't work, take 5 % or whatever it takes from every government program until we get right again.

Balancing a budget should be so easy and I say it would be if everyone in Washington pulled their greedy hands out of the till.
