    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    How about cutting some of their Travels and Vacations, doesn't matter Dem, Rep, or Ind. Start cutting at the top and then work your way down..

    Sorry to see those shut down, but you have to admit the airshows really are non-essential... not to mention dangerous.

    I guess they're used mainly as a recruiting tool from what I hear. We used to have plenty of those shows here in Battle Creek.. the Thunderbirds , Blue Angels, etc..

    I'm sure they'll get them back up and running again once they stop playing stupid games with our money.

    Or maybe they can just do drone-shows from now on....

    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!
