They build $5 trillion of debt in the last 8 years. Bravo.
irresponsible spending might not mean a lot to you. You seem to applaud it.
True, but I honestly think that any Congress would have built that debt, maybe not as much but close. The "untouchable" spending that never can be cut or reformed for political reasons (Clinton and Gingrich, a very could but unlikely duo, came the closest) is our welfare state spending. Social Sec. Medicar and Medicaid. 2/3 of our budget
right now. It was only half or something in the 90's. That is the biggest part of our budget, and it grows leaps and bounds every budget cycle.
So what I'm saying is that our deficit will grow because of the huge pig that is our Welfare State programs. They need tons of cash and they need more every day. Until that is reformed, we will most likely have to declare insolvency and reissue our currency within our lifetime, I'm 26 so probably 2040 when all the welfare programs trusts are run dry.
So even if you cut the pork, overlapping programs, govt employees, graft/corrupting...hell cut the military as well and it is a drop in the bucket.
