I'm not saying that I agree with what the Administration is doing. As far as I'm concerned, I'm ticked that he doesn't plan to send that spending plan back and make them take out the pork. Let the government shut down for a few days. When people don't get their tax refunds and SS payments, they'll be all over Congress' butt.

The way I see it is this -- Bush got us into a war that cost us too much money. Now Obama is doing the same thing with some domestic programs. They need to be done, everything needs to be done, but the government, like the rest of us, needs to figure out what it can afford. I almost stop breathing when I think about the debt and how vulnerable it makes us. I'm also not happy with the tac he is taking with Russia -- we're hardly negotiating from a position of strength since Iran is a lot closer to having nukes than we are to having an operable missile defense.

I think it is interesting how all the doom and gloom works on ones psyche -- other than some paper losses in my Thrift Savings Account, I really have not been noticably affected by the economy (as of yet anyway), but I still feel like we need to tighten up our finances and am putting off doing a few things just because of the uncertainty of it all.
