There’s always an excuse when you need one !
Let’s just be clear. When times were good, we didn’t get it done. When we had mild recessions, we didn’t get it done. When we were in peacetime, we did not get it done. When we were at war, we did not get it done. There is always a reason not to do it. And it strikes me that now is exactly the time for us to deal with this problem.
-BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
