I got two can openers De and lots of Bush's baked beans and cans of sardines. Peanut butter, crackers, lots of jars of preserves and graham crackers. (sorry, no animal crackers)

BUTTTTT, maybe I should go get me a bunch of bags of those. I like them.. lol!!!!

Now, on a serious note, for the reasons as to why the deficit has hit these historic numbers, it is a rational and needed policy of BELOW budgetary fiscal constraints OR

one can impose a freeze on spending limits which need to be backed off say 10 percent, and keep it that way.

This drunken sailor spending by bureaucrats has got to be put in reverse and the gas pedal stomped to the floor.

That means lots of people's freebie programs are going to need to be curtailed and a balanced budget required....

Will this create some financially tough times? You bet.

But ya got to bite the bullet sometime iffen ya don;t want to become the Weimar republic.

JMO.

Do you remember when the U.S. debt hit $35 trillion? It was on July 29th. But August 2nd was the first time I asked this question. The debt had just jumped.

Today it jumped again. In three weeks, the debt has soared by a quarter trillion. If it continues at this rate - which seems inconceivable but is in keeping with my ellipse graph - it will be at $36 trillion by the end of October.
