re: #232 brownbagj

I know this is OT…but the message that President Obama will deliver to the UN regarding US policies on aid is EXACTLY what I would want.

For far too long we have just thrown money at problems, without expecting results or having any long-term effect - also know as WASTE (j/k WUB).

Anyway, the President stated that our policy basically ahs fallen short and has created dependence on the US for money. Instead, we are changing this policy to focus more on diplomacy, programs and the like.

This is a smaller, more efficient government way to approach the UN and world-wide poverty. Might I say a fiscally conservative approach that I believe will work.

Bravo Mr. President. Bravo. This is common sense we need and that will work.

So why not apply this way of thinking to domestic spending?
