Occasionally we have calendar events, which occur on the same day, that when put together they seem to carry special meaning.
Two such events will occur this year on Feb. 2nd, both Groundhog Day and the President's State of the Union address occur on the same day.
As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic juxtaposition of events - one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog."
At least the groundhog can't spend our money. Just wait until the State of the Union address and then tally up the cost of all the programs that will be proposed. What I would like to hear is a commitment to reduce the deficit and to spend less than the government collects through taxes and revenues.
Most families in America do that every day. Is it too much to ask our government to do the same? After all, it is our money they are spending.
