Fantastic Quote Sent To Me This AM….

My dear friend Otis Hackett of the Otis Hackett Group (http://www.otishackett.com) sent a great quote to me this morning.  It’s so poignant that I had to post it:

“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

– Cicero , 55 BC

It’s bad when went something said in 55 BC is still relevant today.

Finally A Place To REALLY Compare The Candidates

http://www.obama-mccain.info/index-obama-mccain.php

If you’re like me, the debates and campaign ads haven’t really told you anything about the candidates (except that they both love posturing).

And unless you know where to look like the Tax Policy Center’s Presenditial Analysis (http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/url.cfm?ID=411749), which is updated pretty regularly you may not be able to find out the details about either candidate to get a real perspective.

I can’t really validate the site or it’s information (other than when I look up the information, it seems to jive) and the site is owned by some people from the Czech Republic…which does give me pause, it’s still a good place to review both candidates in an easy to read format.

So unless I find something glaring, I will condsider it a good site.

I have to thank my girlfriend Lynn for finding this site.
