When we choose to focus forward, we can find the energy and ability to remove any obstacles that may appear to be hindering our smooth progression.

The real burden on the public is what government spends (and mandates others to spend). As I have said repeatedly, I would rather have government spend one trillion dollars with a deficit of a half a trillion than have government spend two trillion dollars with no deficit.
