I feel that we need fundamental and cultural changes. We need to stop our increasing reliability on the Government. People need to look in the mirror and take ownership of themselves and their families. People these days look to the Government with their hand out expecting a monetary solution. I know someone who has been on disability for “depression” since they were 38 years old and they are now in their 60’s, are you kidding me? These are the examples that make the system not work. People today need to start saving for their "golden years" and not expect or rely on the government to take care of them 100%.……………………

Forty five States are in the Red with only 5 in the Black.
Over spending has accumulated over the last 30 years from the
family through every level of government to the point where we
are at the day of reckoning.
Every thing needs to be cut across the board without exception
requiring sacrifice by all until spending is under control.
Credit has ruined this country, both personal and government.
Used to be you paid yourself first by saving 10% of your
paycheck.
I would venture to say 80% of people couldn't
afford to do that anymore due to their credit debt and the, "I want it, and I want it now"mentality.
