"Is this the America that our soliders (our children) are dying for?" Right on Ben Stein

I usually have pause at some of the political positions that Ben Stein takes. But this time he was right on the money. This needs to be shouted from the roof tops, "Is this the America that our soliders (our children) are dying for?"

"We are mortgaging ourselves to foreigners on a scale that would make George Washington cry. Every day — every single day — we borrow a billion dollars from foreigners to buy petroleum from abroad, often from countries that hate us. We are the beggars of the world, financing our lavish lifestyle by selling our family heirlooms and by enslaving our progeny with the need to service the debt."

I have new found respect for Mr. Stein.
