Now, thats an honest politician that takes the issues facing America by the horns.

Just like Cameron, (new elected PM in England).
And the english people love him, because he immediatly reduced spending and raised taxes to fight the ever growing national debt.
Every English citizen knew it had to be dealt with, esspecially after watching what happened to Greece that kept spending as if their was no end.

Double blow for David Cameron as two of his senior advisers prepare to quit the Government

Well, he doesn't have a majority government either. Remember that.
He can't do everything he wants to, or what his advisors want him to do.
He has to work with the liberal party together to get things done and approved.

So, yes, it could be even harder for his advisors to even play a role.

We really need more politicians with backbones like his. Our country is headed towards a dead end if we can't elect more politicians who speak like Paul Ryan. Our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will be slaves to a debt of social benefits that were used by people no longer living. Its unconscionable that anyone in our elected governing bodies can think that is ok, but perhaps generational theft needs to be made a crime so that these politicians will wake up to the reality that stealing from the unborn is wrong. Unless we are able to pay for these programs as their costs rise (medicare, social security, obamacare), we need to take a seriously hard look at cutting them back, raising eligibility requirements, and or eliminating them all together to get them under control. There is just no other choice.
