    Default My Letter

    DEAR CONGRESS, Last year I mismanaged my funds and this year my family and I can't decide on a budget. Until we can come to a unified decision that fits all of our needs and interests, we will have to shut down our checkbook and we will no longer be able to pay our taxes. I'm sure you'll understand. Thank you very much for setting an example that we can all follow

    Very nice!

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Very well said!

    What's good for the goose is good for the gander, as the old folks used to say.

    The sad part is that us every day folks have had to make some pretty major budget adjustments this past year or 2. Why in the hell can't they do the same ? I see no sacrifices being made by the people who are supposed to be representing us. It seems that egos and self interests are running the country's finances instead of common sense. Excuse the rant it's just that this whole subject just gets to me.

    I just blatantly stole this to use as my facebook status...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Haha, that thought crossed my mind too. Well put Mtn man!
    Not surprising that congress would rather continue to get paid nearly $200K/year- Speaker of the House makes $223,000 a year! I don't think they'd take a pay cut to help fix our economic situation.
    A cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) increase takes effect annually unless Congress votes to not accept it.
    Congress has never voted against the COLA increase.

    Awesome idea, I just plagiarized that for my FB status as well .
