I try to leave politics out of my blog. Well sort of, at least I don’t bombard the people who read my blog with it. As we all know it’s getting down to the home stretch (election time and all that), so let’s not lose focus on what’s important. Namely that the system of checks and balances must be restored to our great nation. I don’t think it would be a very good idea to allow the GOP to continue to make all the decisions for us. Well I guess that one of those points in my life has come along again. What really set me off was
this story I read at CNN this morning. Only Dubya could be this stupid. We’ll put the terrorist Boogie man on hold for awhile, and drag it out again in 2 years. The Outstanding Public Debt as of 23 Oct 2006 at 05:28:55 AM GMT is: $ 8,553,912,670,985.63. The estimated population of the United States is 300,045,659 so each citizen's share of this debt is $28,508.70. The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.60 billion per day since September 30, 2005!

And this is why I don't start my day with CNN. Try watching something lighter in the morning. Meredith Viera had a really interesting piece on obesity this morning. I feel informed.

Yes I eschew watching the news in the AM because I am depressed all day if I do. I watch Spiderman (the cartoon series) before taking my little guy to Kindergarten...Wallopin' Web snappers!
I have been perplexed by the American debt for some time now because for a Conservative Government to have sunk your fiscal ship is far beyond the boundaries of good taste.
Your country will NEVER EVER be debt free...and just look at who is lending you guys all of that money..tsk tsk tsk.

Well, when they come to collect from me, I'll just have to ignore their request. After all, i'm more than capable of learning the lessons Uncle Sam is teaching.
