Cut Backs

Can we ask Mr. Obama to save our butts if we aren't willing to save our own first. What I see and hear on a daily basis from every news outlet is figures about how bad it will get before it gets better. And who knows what "better" will be this time around. I'd like to believe that THIS TIME we've learned our lesson, but what I see every day on my way home from work, or on the way to the grocery store tells me otherwise. If we're on the verge of another Great Depression, the waiters & waitresses at Johnny Carino's wouldn't know it, neither would the clerks at Pier One. We're all geniuses when it comes to what's wrong with the BIG 3 and the how wrong it is for congress to hand them a bailout check, while we answer "credit" to the girl behind the Cinabon counter swiping our plastic. Here's our chance to set our priorities straight, for our ourselves, our families, the country, and the planet....what? gas is $1.30 a gallon, and there's 0% APR on the 2008 H3.....we'll cut back next tim
