A Ship At Sea

All weekend long I have watched as the so-called budget crisis has unfolded on Capitol Hill. For you and I, balancing our personal budgets is very simple. We can't spend more than we take in. We have to make sacrifices, cut our expenses. And if we live beyond our means and borrow to maintain our way of life, there is a price to pay. You know it, I know it, why doesn't our government know it. I have said for a long time now one of the greatest things we have lost is common sense and the more I see of our leaders in Washington, the more I'm convinced they have lost touch with the people.I have the uneasy feeling that America is a ship at sea, in a storm, with no captain at the wheel.
