The State of Our Union is Wrong

Tonight is President Bush's State of the Union Address, and I can't help but sense how wrong the state of things feel. Domestically and internationally, our politics has been divisive and polarizing. We have been coming up short in setting and example for the world to follow. They say our economy is in good shape, but I can't help but feel at the mercy of a debt-based economy fueled by foreign investments (e.g. China).

Here at home we have another plan to strengthen our financial footing (yet again). Noella will needs us to get our financial act together, and I'm proud we're finally pulling this off. However, as I watch Bush declare our country as strong tonight, all I'll see is how the state of our union is wrong. Priority number one: Become Debt Free. In the next few years it will be the debt free citizens who will become the rarest of species with the strongest of financial positions.....
