Who's more responsible: Charlie Sheen or Washington?

At first thought, Charlies Sheen hardly seems like a model for fiscal responsibility. But, unfortunately, Washington is far worse.

Washington's habit of spending far more than it takes in has driven the country into debt. And our economic situation is projected to only get worse.

The solution is clear, but not easy: spending cuts.

History shows that reducing government spending leads to sustained economic growth. And that's something (even Charlie Sheen) can get behind.
