First, we sacrifice the politicians…

I wish to respond to Kenneth Weeden's letter to the editor ("Who bears the burden?" Oct. 31). During World War II, people understood the need for sacrifice because if they didn't, there was a good chance we would all be speaking German today. Today's economic crisis requires sacrifice, but only from politicians — they need to stop spending other people's money as if there was no downside in order to get re-elected.
