A video was posted to YouTube back in the middle of March that focuses on the dilemma surrounding the United States budget. It is a video that every American who plans to vote in the fall should watch. Anyone who is concerned with how the government is spending money and how difficult it has become to balance the budget should watch this video. We highly recommend watching it a couple of times in order to successfully take in all of the information presented. Take a look at the video embedded in this post and tell us that it is not scary.
