"A Category 6 hurricane is threatening our shores - it's the federal budget deficit."

so says the comptroller of the United States, David M. Walker... is anybody paying attention...?

"There is not much courage out there," said Brian M. Riedl of the Heritage Foundation . . . "Like an alcoholic, the first thing you have to do is admit you have a problem. The flip side of it is, Americans are vehemently opposed to every possible solution."

americans may be "vehemently opposed" but that's why we have elected leaders... or so i was led to believe...
