You completed several nice points there. I did a search on the problem and located nearly all individuals will have the same opinion with your blog.
Who put us here, not Obama! Our foundation is on the poor & they want to get more cuts with the budget plan. Cuts for the rich? No! for the poor! Are we going to have more poor that has no money to buy anything? Yes! Lets give the people more money to spend so we can get a demand for jobs to make things. Not stay on this low road that does not work!
