We've been in debt for many many years and until spending is controlled (the first step to getting out of debt ), no one is going to be able to fix it.

Don't worry! The "savior" Obama will fix this.... LOL LMFAO!!!!!What was their battle cry...."America needs a change" Well, I'm still waiting! Along the same lines as Stagger put it, nothing will change until those fat #%$^% congressmen start working TOGETHER to accomplish something conducive to our economy. The figure head can run his chops all he wants to but it's the Senate and House that has to step it up. My top 3 budget killers: Walmart-too much Gross National Product coming in and not enough going out. The illegals- Hospital costs soaring and using Western Union to send all the cash money south of the border or to the middle east. Outsourcing- we need the jobs to stay here in this country.

The health care issue isn't just about illegal immigrants. American citizens who don't have any coverage at all get sick and go to the E.R. which is BY FAR the most expensive route to go, and you and I get stuck with the bill.
And it's funny you mention illegal aliens sending money to the middle east. I live in southern Illinois (nothing but red necks, trees and corn fields down here) and a few weeks ago, the FBI raided a house not 10 miles from my parents house and hauled in an illegal Iraqi immigrant with a bunch of pot with a street value of $1.5 Million. And yes, he was sending the money back to Iraq.....I just wonder if he was trying to support his family or terrorist activities.....guess we'll never know. But this war on drugs is an expensive and epic fail.

But this war on drugs is an expensive and epic fail. We have a multi- front war going on economically. By the way, remember all the millions of U.S. currency that was found hidden in the Palaces in Iraq? Wonder where that came from? No wonder the White House wants to print more money. And there are way to many people, that have top positions within our borders, keeping their hands out when it comes to the drugs. Too many Law Enforcement groups are dirty. I have to stop now, I'm sure my blood pressure is elevated.
