The Article that was written by Cindi Ross Scuppe highlights the importance of how government money should be spent. The American people are well known for trying to live above their means. Which is one of the main reasons why we are going deeper and deeper into National Debt. We purchase and finance furnuture, cars, houses, ect., and we aren't able to pay for them.
Although this article is somewhat directed towards the American people, the American government plays a big role in a numerous amount of missing money. This also directs our attention on the government asking, "Where is all of the money going?" What the american people fail to realize is, every year millions of tax dollars are spent by the government and without so much as a receipt to account for.
Therefore, this article was written to inform Americans of our spendig habbits and to come up with a resoloution...or was it written to inform Americans that the debt is not only our fault. Basic argument, should we cut jobs or should we cut the payrate of the jobs? This has been going on for the past 8 years in the United States, so what can WE, as a whole do about it? That is the question.
