No Kenny, I didn't say anything at all about eliminating the p.o......Why is the concept of living within your means so hard for you lefties to grasp?....Clearly, and I do mean clearly, we have a poisonous financial atmosphere in almost all levels of government.....That is true whether or not George W. Bush ever existed and even if we had never liberated Iraq....What ever excuse you care to come up with, we can't continue on the glide path to insolvency.

I have a friend that has been living on a property with a interest only mortgage with the principal amount coming due fairly soon....His low payments have "allowed" him to live far above his means....new four wheel drive trucks, travel trailers, 66" flat screen televisions and what ever else hits his fancy......It has been interesting watching him trying to figure out what he is going to do when the day of the balloon payment hits.

One of his ideas was to hook on to that travel travel and boogie to Arizona and just leave the place, which lasted maybe 2 weeks before he realized that wouldn't work out so hot......It's very hard to escape bad financial management practices, especially a life time of them.

Asking government to live within their means is far from a radical thought......and yeah, I know I just wasted a few minutes of time with this, but at least it was mine to waste.
