With our country falling deeper and deeper into debt, our government commissioned a "super committee" to find a way to reduce our deficit by $1.2 trillion. They worked hard at their job, they negotiated, they brainstormed, they debated -- and they failed. Once you're in a deficit, it's hard to climb back out. Getting into a deficit, on the other hand, is pretty easy. Many of us are in one right now, as we get hit with the credit card bills we racked up over the holidays. Before long we'll have property tax bills to pay and income taxes to cough up. We keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, and it just seems to keep moving further and further away.
