Dysfunction in Washington DC

The US Congress and administration seem totally out of touch with what the citizens of this country desire: Change- Now. According to a recent poll 74% of Americans think our government is taking us in the wrong direction. The budget deficit is accumulating at over $1 for every $3 spent. The US must start living within its means or it will face the same problem Greece is facing today. We need leadership, courage and the will to find long term solutions to promote economic growth. A large part of the problem is psychological, a lack of confidence in our government and uncertainty about what the future holds. The structure of our government is out of control with "permanent politicians" dragging their feet on action. If we don't have the COURAGE to take drastic action soon to balance the budget, simplify the tax code, relax regulations, encourage investment injust a few years our way of life will face a downward spiral most of us can't imagine.
