Tax and Spend

Here's some thrilling news as reported by Nealz Nuze: "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that Americans will be facing higher taxes or changes in their government entitlement programs. When was the last time the federal government cut an entitlement program?" Good question. And why shouldn't some cuts be made in entitlement programs? Shouldn't everyone have to sacrifice?
In the same vein, this editorial at Investors Business Daily says that America has become, sadly, a nation of takers. If JFK were alive today, he might say, "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you!"
