Issue Position: Blind People Ignore the Bowles-Simpson Debt Commission

Issue Position

The ostrich that sticks his head in the sand, thinking if he doesn't see the lion, the lion won't see him, will be eaten by the lion.

· If your water is limited to one bucket, that's all there is, regardless of how thirsty you are. Legislating more water and Rumpelstiltskin spinning straw into gold are both fairytales. Bowles-Simpson told us to quench our thirst with one bucket of water. When we have lots of rain, we'll have more water.

· When Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson came up with a plan to save us, everyone jumped down their throats, wanting only the other side to give up stuff.

· We need fiscally conservative leaders with solutions, who are not worried about getting elected. We need to eliminate revenue manipulations, tax incentives, farm or milk supports, oil depreciation allowances, mortgage deductions or defense contract overruns. By burying our heads in the sand, we are slaves addicted to a Ponzi Pyramid with no money left in the pot.

· We need to wake up, smell the coffee (or tea) and exorcise the demon that squeezed into America resulting in a country of plunderers and parasites.
