In the news...

I just got done watching the AMA awards and was surprised when Taylor Swift won the Artist of the Year, but really happy for her. I was surprised she won with Michael Jackson up for the same award, but glad a young girl that has worked as hard as she has won. A young girl winning such a huge award is not very common.

Another thing I saw on the news was that it is being said that women's mammograms are now only needed to be done every two years. A lot of people are making a huge deal about that because they think the government is just trying to save money by saying it doesn't need to be done every year. It would be horrible if that is the case and the government would do such a thing. But honestly, with how the government is right how who would know? Making cut backs such as this one, is in my opinion not the way to go about getting us out of our debt. My mom heard that if every man, woman and child in the United States would give 1/2 a million dollars to the government it would get us out of our debt. That is absolutely crazy!! Maybe the government should be more focused on getting us out of that debt than some of the ways they spent the stimulus money, for example when they used it to build tunnels under roads for turtles. I think finding breast cancer in women is way more important than some other ways the government money has been spent.
