Does anyone else hear that giant flushing sound?

The sound of our middle class futures and livelyhoods in this country we call "America", going down the crapper! Our government can't even get it together in regard to paying it's own bills, yet we are supposed to continue to "sacrifice" while these fat cats get richer by the day! Why shouldn't the wealthy pay more taxes since they are the ones making all the money? Budget cuts? How about Military cuts and I'm not talking about the enlisted people's pay checks. We spend more on our Miltary budget than any other expenditure. Somewhere in the range of 50%, almost HALF of the revenue our government takes in. Cut that crap, not our seniors social security! I just wonder what's going to happen if the U.S. defaults? Are we headed for another 1929? It sure won't surprise me! More in the book "American Me?"
