| Allfreedom99 said: Its frustrating when a lot of things could be prevented if congress and president would get their foot out of their asses and actually make some real spending cuts. Its ludicrous when a country is spending at least 33% more than they are recieving. Then they say, "oh well we will reduce our pile of debt by chunk change each year, but then add on piles more each year that severly outweigh cuts." I think all intelligence has left some of our leaders. |
Not just that, what really makes me laugh, is when the govenment says that they will raise taxes so that they can cover the deficit that they are running. The only problem with this is if they raise taxes by $1 billion, then they also seem to think they can raise spending by $1.25 billion (just random numbers). How the hell are you supposed to cover a deficit with increased tax revenue when you increase spending by more than that tax revenue.
It has honestly gotten to the point where I almost wish that we do default on our loans. People will be pissed the fuck off at our government, possibly more so than they ever have been before. Being that nothing else seems to have any effect whatsoever on the government cutting their expenses, I really do wonder if they would stop fucking around so much and actually fix our problem if this were to happen.
Knowing how much of idiots they are, though, I highly doubt it would have any effect.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
