Will the Republicans / Democrats that you support...

1T in 10 years is pathetic. By your account we will be what 24T in debt by 2021. Ugh.

 

I am completely 100% for hacking apart the budget immediately. But unfortunately I'm not the guy in charge.

Here's my plan if I was in charge. If the US government has 2 trillion dollars in revenue each year, then budget to spend 1.5 trillion and use the other 500 billion as that year's debt payment. It will still take something like 28 years to pay off the debt, but eventually it will be paid off.

 

The only chance this country has is cut entitlements and cut military spending. In other words, get the US government out of the way of the American people at home and out of the way of people abroad.

 

Also, the government should quit plotting to destroy our landmarks.

 

You continue with your anti-GOP/Bush carping, but Obama is spending more than Bush ever did and I'll be damned if I can find any increases in revenue. Where's the famous Red outrage over what Obama had done and will do to the deficit?

 

There is no way we get a handle on the deficit without meaningful entitlement reform; something the Democrats will never agree to. It is their sacred cow.

 

Call me after Obama has had to deal with a 9/11. He's had no such crisis and all he's done is spend billions on a worthless stimulus and tried to jam socialistic programs down out throats.
