Tonight President Obama will address the Nation on the economy.  I applaud the President for the new level of transparency he has brought to the Office.  The People should have plentiful updates regarding the Country, especially in times like these.  What I can't stomach though, is hypocrisy.  The President wants to cut the deficit which of course we all support, however, it is almost comical for anyone on the Left to speak of fiscal responsibility after spending over $1 Trillion just a week ago that was borrowed by the Chinese (my apologies to Spkr Pelosi's Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse which received $30 million from the stimulus).  We have committed our future generations to paying off this debt, we have put ourselves into an even deeper handicapped position with China, and we have done it all for the "hope" that this plan will work.  All this despite the fact that this spending plan has failed every time it's been tried, either here or abroad.  What also bothers me is that many Americans do not realize that there is more spending to take place.  Many people think about the stimulus and fail to realize that we are not even half way through this fiscal year (Oct 1-Sept 30).  There are many more opportunites for the Democrats to spend and believe me, they will!  After all, remember what Rahm Emanuel says, "You can't let a crisis go to waste."
