WE ALL NEED TO HELP IN THE BUDGET CRISIS

``Now, balance the budget'' (editorial, March 4) was outstanding. It hit all the key points. I hope the citizens of Hampton Roads will heed your good words.

We have an economic crisis in this country, and the time for finger-pointing is long past. Let's face it: We're all going to have to pay a little more to get the country back on its feet. Let's all help our elected representatives to solve this financial dilemma, instead of continuing to be a part of the problem.
