Common Sense Coalition in Kansas City

Can you spare $63 Trillion Dollars? I wasn’t aware of the impending financial burden so great that the bickering about multi-trillion dollar war spending, healthcare overhauls, and bailouts are dwarfed in comparison to an “entitlement deficit” that stretches beyond our GDP capacity and credit worthiness to unrealistic levels. I’m not sure if our elected officials are intentionally keeping this monumental problem out of the public eye or it’s really just overlooked because of sheer incompetence. I have a hard time believing that 500+ elected national leaders are all completely bone headed to the point that they won’t take this to task with the American people. Either way, I think the first step is to recognize the problem. This organization is trying to do just that. It’s not a republican or a democratic backed organization. It’s not really railing against those parties either. It is about finding the right solutions using common sense rather than the latest partisan talking points delivered by Fox News or MSNBC.

I think it’s unrealistic to convince extreme right wingers and extreme left wingers to ever compromise on this problem. However, I thinks moderates from both parties could easily see the common enemy here is a financial burden that really threatens the existence of our Union in a way that no Jihadist could compete with.
