Every person in America should be required to listen to this. At the very least, high school and college kids should be required to listen. And politicians in Washington should be tested on the material. If they flunk, they're out.

As a nation, we have borrowed and spent our way into a big ditch. We're not going to get out of the ditch by digging it deeper. We have to reverse the mistakes of the past, not repeat them.
Government stimulus will never grow this economy. It will never create jobs. It is the equivalent of trying to put out a fire by pouring gasoline on it.
