"We do big things"

America last night I was re energized after hearing the President's call to arms in regards to making this country what we as a people want the it to be in the age of a new Millennium. We have always been in the forefront of new technology and innovation., and when the odds are against us , that's when we tend to shine. Imagination and thinking outside of the box has always been the catalyst to new discoveries in science and technology breakthroughs. But we cannot stifle that process by eliminating primary and secondary education funding in an attempt to decrease the deficit. While it is true that spending is through the roof, it was necessary in lite of the state this Country was in. The opposition likes to point to the last two years , as an example when trying to make their point. Needless to say that, but for the vision of this Administration under the leadership of this President, we would not have continual growth in the jobs market, stabilization in the financial markets, continual decrease in the unemployment rates, an increase in building of new homes, closing of the doughnut holes in health care and so on. America!, if the other side really wants to do things that will help decrease the deficit, I say let them start by setting and example such as freezing their own salaries for two years! most of them are well off anyway, and this will show the rest of America that not only must we do and make hard choices but, that they are willing to feel the crunch too . Instead of the people who are already struggling bareing the brunt of the cuts. People wouldn't mind so much the tightening of the belts if the people who were so willing to give huge Tax breaks to the upper 2% of money earners, somehow got the ca hones to turn that same desire towards themselves first. Why is it every time there needs to be a sacrifice it starts with those who are hurting the most!!? America I am willing to do my part to help get this country where it needs to be, but we as a people need to call upon the House and the Senate to lead by example. They can start by compromising and working together to solve the problems rather than playing politics. As the President said "We do big things" The biggest thing that can be done to show that everybody is on board with reining in the deficit is to Freeze their own salaries for two years! at the very least it will show that we are all in this together. I'm just saying!!.
