Tremendous article. I think you’ll follow just clear. A large percentage is surrounding yourself with approximate people and who you know. You appear to have both of these assistant determine.

I totally agree with you. Our government needs some serious budgeting help. When ordinary people start having financial troubles we cut out all the unecessary stuff like entertainment, eating out, redecorating our homes, etc. They need to cut out all the unecessary stuff too.  That includes parks, recreation, memorials, beautification projects, etc.  They need to concentrate on all the important things like education, law enforcement, public safety, road improvements, etc. At the same time I want to know what does Sanford propose to make up for the money that we don’t take? He just says he wants the Legislature to come up with a better budget but he has made no suggestions on how he thinks that could be done. He is dumping it all on someone else to push his own political agenda.

People are saving not spending. The latest savings rate is at all time high in decades.

They want free things to do so they can save and invest their money for later when we’ll have to pay for the stimulus.
