What Price Our Country?

     Republican lawmakers walked out of debt reduction talks this week because they were unwilling to consider additional taxes on corporations or the nation's wealthiest.  Instead, they would rather reduce programs that benefit the young, the elderly, the poor, and the sick and disabled.   

     In the movie, "Jerry Maguire," Jerry's football player client demands, "Show me the money."  Everything seems to have a price these days. Everything seems to be about the money.  What price, I wonder, does our country have?  What does it take for those in positions of power and leadership to forget about the money, and care once again, for our country and its people?
