I've seen your sit...I appreciate your thoughts. I've seen your situation, I've seen you struggle to make ends meet, I've seen you stress. I've watched things get worse, and harder, and crazier. <br /><br />But as much as I agree with the sentiment behind this post, I must disagree with your words. <br /><br />You, much like Washington, must understand that not only are there multiple ways to solve this problem, but that many of the pitfalls we fall prey to along the way could be avoided, averted, or thwarted by a different view of the situation. <br /><br />Your problems are a microcosm of the greater issue at hand in Washington right now.
