I remember a time decades ago when the phrase "Balanced budgets" was bandied about and never followed. Its kind of hard to enrich ones self if a budget is actually established and a responsible adult in the room is watching where those dollars are being spent and the spenders MUST be accountable.
None of the hyperbole/bluster ever came to pass.
Unless and until a totally reformed government that actually enforces a budget that restricts deficit spending no matter how much howling, this runaway freight train is carreening toward financial oblivion.
The stupid majority of american people are totally ignorant and oblivious to impacts of such things and for the most part do not educate themselves about such things.
The NATION is much like an independent COMPANY.. To be successful and and ongoing entity which grows, which was the definition a company decades ago, in that it too must grow economically if it is to sustain its appetite for spending itself into oblivion..
And there is no difference between political parties. When its their turn in office NONE of the balance a budget ad make CUTS in spending and get it under control..
Politicians love MONEY, other people's to enrich themselves while talking a big game about reigning in deficit spending.
Weh ave gheard theis bald faced lie most of our adult lives and it does appear the time to paythe piper is just around the corner...
The BITE ME group is trying to hasten the destruction of the United States with its lack of immigration and invasion controls which simple costs us all MORE MONEY...which we do not have....
So, the article is wonderful in pointing out what many of us knew and saw decades ago and it has not slowed down .
The founding father's are all ROLLING in their graves.
I am sorry, but I beleieve we need to take care of AMERICANS FIRST and any money left over should be used to pay off debt only.. SCREW the rest of the world and nations.. America has the ability and natural resources to do that..
UNtil we get rid of the current politicians and get real patriots who are only interested in American people and this nation, we are and remain screwed.....
JMO from an old guy who has watched this charade for a very long time... as has Ribit..
