Sacrifice Acknowledged, If Not Shared
There is a lot of talk in DC these days about shared sacrifice with regard to the federal deficit, with many saying that trillions of dollars in savings should be found from all quarters and constituencies.
As the fight goes on, the president paused yesterday to award the Medal of Honor to Sergeant First Class Leroy Arthur Petry, who in 2008 demonstrated what sacrifice is all about. Let’s hope these “leaders” look to Petry’s noble example to do the right thing on the debt, deficit, spending, and taxes.
