Five Economic Resolutions for America in 2008

Financial Expert Michael J. McDonald Presents Short-Term Goals for America's
Long-Term Strength

PALM DESERT, Calif., Dec. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- America is living like the
young person who inherits a fortune, then squanders it, ignorant of the hard
work and sacrifice it took to accumulate it. It is time, America, to get your
financial house in order.
1. I pledge to be a country the rest of the world will be proud to
follow. By my actions and my deeds I will show the path that leads to
growth, prosperity and peace for everyone. I will hold sacred the
ideals of my forbearers that led to my greatness.
2. I will pledge to be more humble, to save more and consume less. I will
reduce my trade deficit to zero by lowering my personal consumption
6% (this won't hurt me much since most of this goes overseas anyway).
I won't buy into the idea that consumption is the American ideal. It
isn't. Hard work and saving are -- and always have been.
3. I will use the 6% I don't consume to lift my savings from minus back
up to the 6% -- the level my forbearers saved that made me great. I
will go through whatever economic withdrawals pains are required to
make this happen. I will be strong.
4. I will help reduce the trade deficit by decreasing my dependence on
foreign energy, by buying more efficient cars. I will adopt a new
slogan, "Be efficient, not flamboyant." I will look for every possible
way to save and economize.
5. I realize my military dominance arises from my economic
strength -- but so do my enemies. I will strive to become economically
lean, so I can continue to be the economic giant required to keep the
world free. Six Billion people of the world quietly depend on me. I
have responsibilities.
