Don't forget Charlton Heston! I'm not really a genious, or an exceptionally smart person by any means, but I would say i'm of average intelligence...ok, ok, maybe slightly below average. But even I know not to spend more than I make. I could go max out my credit card right now, but I know i'll eventually have to pay for everything. The gummint, Obama in particular, just doesn't seem to understand this concept. Social security was bringing in more money from it's beginning than it paid out- until just recently. That created a surplus. But the gummint "borrowed" from it all along to pay for other programs, now social security is paying more than it's taking in, and the surplus that should be there isn't. The national debt of this country is way into the trillions of dollars. I once heard a trillion dollars in hundred dollar bills would reach to the moon if they were stacked up. But I haven't heard any democrat even mention the federal deficit, while the republicans seem to "get" that it's a major problem. And the people want what's good for them, instead of what's good for the country, as in "#^*# all dat, I wants my free $#!T!"
