$52,300 for a family of 4 is what the government needs to collect.

Mafoo, I agree with you. But we knew this was coming, what with Obama and his "taking a scalpel to the budget" analogy during the debates. We don't need a scalpel, we need a chainsaw and a bulldozer. Not that McCain would have been much better, he would be the same as Bushy was... Lord knows that is not what people wanted.

I will be getting out of all debt, except my new car, this year, and probably within the next 2 months. And then I can start saving and doing things I really want to do. The government is so far in debt, and yet they keep leveraging America to do more than they should. Keep a balanced budget, and get out of debt ASAP. Then we can quibble over what to spend when and where.
