Cash for You Name It...

Hello! I'm back from one of the most phenomenal, albeit short, vacations of my life. I highly recommend checking out the frontier-like Arizona Strip. In the vicinity are the northern rim of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Truly an amazing area of the country.

While I was traveling I thought about the idea of posting the occasional video message in the future. Would that liven things up?

In the meantime, I realize this money was essentially pre-authorized, but how slippery a slope is this?:

I read today that Democratic Party approval has dropped below 50% for the first time since President Obama entered office. This is neither a good nor bad thing in my mind per se, but it seems to suggest that the populace is not ignorant to what is going on around it. Why would you want your taxes to fund Joe Bob's new dishwasher?

When I was out in AZ I picked a bumper sticker for my friend who would rather go back to the '80s than try any dramatic change such as the FairTax. It reads: "I'll keep my guns, freedom, and money. You can keep the change!" Seems like that might be tough.
