The Quote of the Decade: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006               Pass it on 'til eternity...  (it was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity!) SO, USE IT!!! Please send it on if only to one person. HERE'S ANOTHER GREAT QUOTE: "There are two ways to conquer & enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt."  John Adams  1826
