We need better leaders, and we need better citizens who will convey to our leaders (Congress, President) that they are ready sacrifice if necessary, yes pay higher taxes, if that is what is needed to fix this country.
Do not punish politicians who ask us to do hard things.
If we had a draft in this country I assure you we would not be in Iraq, or Afghanistan. To get anything done in this country you have to have 1,000 page bills so the dishonest that look for loopholes can't use the bill to further their pocketbooks. Gerrymandering in this country means politicians can now choose their own voters, term limits are unconstitutional but the President is term limited. This is where we need courageous leaders. Obama was a anti Bush, anti War vote that is now changing our social programs. I hope and pray the next election all incumbents are voted out, and we get some straight talk from our elected officials that we citizens need to buck and sacrifice yes pay more taxes and let's not leave this problem to our children. I know this upsets the conservative crowd but let's not point fingers at the past Obama and Bush, let's in the words of Gary Chapman "Let's get it done".

Welcome to the Conservative movement Terry.
Terry, we cannot tax our way out of this mess, we can, we are heading for the Californication of America.
You want courage Terry, OK, how about entitlement reform? Now I know you know that if we raise taxes, the politicians will just spend more. We need entitlement reform.
Wait...hey...we did try entitlement reform, remember Bush did with Social Security and the Republicans did with Medicare, and what did your party do...scare Grandma.
Honestly, look in the mirror of your own party.
We are at war, with a volunteer army, citizens who choose to serve.
National defense is the one true funtion of government.
What courage do we need?
You need to become a Conservative.
That takes courage
It takes courage to become a conservative? What kind of insipid blather is that? The most ridiculous thing I have heard... since reading another recent Morning Coffee post.
GWB didn't try entitlement reform. He tried to dismantle Social Security without being honest enough to plainly admit it.
