about the election and who’s going or returning to office. But my one hope for our nation right now is that we get our financial house in order nationally, like those of us on the list are doing for our own households. No matter who folks voted for or what they think of the folks who have been voted into office, here’s hoping that the next few years will see more financially responsible behavior on the local, state and federal government levels.

Maybe some of the folks who are going, or returning to office, will finally do the really hard, dirty work that needs to be done in that regard. Heck, I’ll even let ’em use my work gloves if that would help it get done. But this “fiscal cliff” thing has been bugging me ever since that SuperCommittee failed to come to any really meaningful conclusions, other than “kick the can further down the street.” Fingers crossed on that one………
