Just wondering why our government preaches we must take care of our finances nit take on to much debt etc etc . Does anyone ever feel like its the pot calling the kettle black. Most of us on here have rebuilt our credit or are rebuilding . We made cuts in our own budgets to do so and went without out things . Why is it our country can't pay its debt down and have a balanced budget . This has nothing to do with which side is doing what cause I feel all parties are to blame . There is just so much waste . My job is contracted through the government but is ran as a business . Why dosent our government do this cut overhead elminate unnecessary govt jobs and programs .
