Guru was correct it at least until now all of the proposed budget cutbacks are on future dollars. Having been involved in public and private business most of my life there truly are alot of differences between how the two do their budgeting and spending.

Hence why we are all seeing and feeling the pinch of governmental accounting more and more. One example is that they do not book their expenditures as they occur (public employee retirement benefits) or what we call "kicking the can down the road".

It certainly does pay to contact your congressional representative and relay your concerns in a way they can personally relate, as well as having local elected officials on your side as well.

Hence these budget proposals give us another reason to complete the Great Loop sooner than later.
