"There are only two things that are going to get us out of this particular financial mess, and only Americans (not "only government") can implement those solutions. Both come down to one word: RESTRAINT. We must restrain our government and we must restrain ourselves. Feeding the money monster will not reduce its size...it will perpetuate the problem. We must tame the money monster. We must return it to its cage. We must return to a time when we put a bridle on the spending of government and of our households. We've got to simplify our lives. We've got to learn to be happier with less. We've got to get out of debt."
-Chuck Norris
As I look to depart from military service and pursue another career path, people continually warn me how bad the economy is and how dangerous it is for me to leave 
government service in the midst of such economic turmoil. It is pretty disappointing to me when men and women who are wearing the "cloth of the nation" remain on active duty not out of pride or service to their country, but rather because they are too cowardly to stand on their own two feet and have no confidence in their ability to contribute to society without the reassurance of Uncle Sam's outstretched hand placing dollars in their pockets.
Where have all the people gone who would take offense at having some sniveling, pompous, liberal piece of bureaucratic trash giving them a handout, thus implying they didn't have the strength or intestinal fortitude to stand on their own two feet? Have Americans in general became so soft and unable to care for themselves that they rely solely on big government to find a way out? I think we are headed that way, but it's not too late to reverse that trend.
· PRACTICE ECONOMIC RESTRAINT
· STRETCH YOUR MIND
· BUILD A STRONG BODY (I THINK A TIME IS COMING WHEN YOU'LL NEED IT TO SURVIVE)
