As I was reading the news this morning I was reminded of a speech given by Margaret Thatcher in 1980. It had been a while since I had read the speech so I looked it up and read through it again. A lot of what she said in the speech could be said in the US today. If you get a chance click the link and read it. I think it's worth it.
Speech linkHere's a clip...
If spending money like water was the answer to our country's problems, we would have no problems now. If ever a nation has spent, spent, spent and spent again, ours has. Today that dream is over. All of that money has got us nowhere but it still has to come from somewhere. Those who urge us to relax the squeeze, to spend yet more money indiscriminately in the belief that it will help the unemployed and the small businessman are not being kind or compassionate or caring.
They are not the friends of the unemployed or the small business. They are asking us to do again the very thing that caused the problems in the first place.
