Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan .

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Fran,
you are so spot on, and this post is awesome.
