It has been a long while since I expressed anything in this blog, mainly because by the time my day is said and done I'm too tired to express an opinion.
How many of you are angry today? I know I am.
We all got a lot to be angry about.
Lets look at the budget cutbacks in government. They are willing to cut everything important or not except their own highly overinflated salaries.
Leaders lead by example or they should.

I'm willing to bet none of the above leadership of our country needs this much to live on in a year. I know most have a lot of their own money to begin with.
Lead by example.
I've talked about this once before. I will probably talk about it again.
