But the most important question is how do you define a leader?
The last time I looked, I didn't take an oath to a leader, I took an oath to the country. The last time I looked we had one leader of the country but not a leader of the people. To be a leader, one must be in command of people, but that isn't the way it supposed to work.
The military has one leader, the president which is lead by the people who elect him. The congress has no leaders at all, they represent us, the do not lead us.
SO after all of that, I have to ask you in all sincerity, how do you hold one accountable in a system wrought with corruption and mega-egos?
Remember I am not talking about a party but incumbents, so do you vote for the other guy or is Sandra Levin your guy? How about his brother Carl, did you vote for him - you know he failed the state by not fighting for federal jobs to come here but likes the idea to put up "Gitmo UP", what a tourist attraction that would be...
Tallcal,
Man... there was no surplus, it was a projection that was used until the tech bubble came crashing down...... But you proves my other point that your anger is misplaced and showing....if leaving our grand children with a debt was so bad under Bush, why are you giving a pass to Obama, he has TRIPLED the debt this year and the cost is said to be something like 60 TRILLION DOLLARS because of the mess like Medicare and Social Security AND OUR ECONOMY IS FAILING
