Excellent article and well worth the read,. Just sent it out to my network in an email...
Concerning the looming Govt shut down... We should be so lucky! But some people are getting spooled up over this scenario.
Have no fear people, this is just part of what we will have to go through to right this ship... in the end, the future cuts are going to be much, much more severe. We will either start to pay for our past transgressions now... or later when the costs are insurmountable for our children and grandchildren.
We must face this head-on while we can control the damage... the other choice will not be good.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Winston Churchill
Make sure you contact family, friends, and acquaintances to give them a heads up.

Legislators continue to negotiate a budget deal to avoid a federal government shutdown. Most everyone in Washington assumes that the public would be angry if the bureaucrats were sent home. But a new Rasmussen poll indicates that 57% of Americans like the idea if it is the only way to get deeper budget cuts.
No doubt, the budget needs to be pared. Uncle Sam will spend about $3.8 trillion this year. The deficit will run a record $1.65 trillion.
