These words are music to my ears! Is it possible?? Well it will require super human strength. We are 55 trillion dollars in debt as a nation.
How does John McCain propose he’ll do this?
1) Reasonable economic growth. Growth is an imperative – historically the greatest success in reducing deficits (late 1980s; late 1990s) took place in the context of economic growth.
2) Comprehensive spending controls. Bringing the budget to balance will require across-the-board scrutiny of spending and making tough choices on new spending proposals.
3) Bi-partisanship in budget efforts. Much as the late 1990s witnessed bipartisan efforts to put the fiscal house in order, bi-partisan efforts will be the key to undoing the recent spending binge.

More about Dad
How Dad is doing? Dad is still fighting off the chest cold. Today, he stayed in bed all day. Tomorrow, I’ll be taking him to the doctor’s again. Dad and I took a little ride in the car today, just to get out of the house. We stopped by the Optical store to pick-up some glasses we ordered about a week ago. They look really great on Dad. We also stopped by this great produce market on the way home and picked-up a large bag of Florida oranges. To help Dad fight off his cold.
Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. I play in this local community band and Sunday I went to a band concert for another local band. At the concert I ran into a lady that also plays in the community band with me. She showed a lot of interest in Dad. Dad didn’t really seem to notice.
