Without considering inflation, the likely rapid increases in spending due to unfunded liabilities, or the inevitable increases in interest rates, the US government is on track to spend roughly $40 trillion over the next 10 years while adding $15 Trillion to the debt ... and they can only cut $1 trillion made up mostly of accounting gimicks, and promise to cut $1.2 trillion more that will (most likely) never be implemented or will made up of accounting gimicks

Exactly, the whole thing is just a joke.

but dont you know the people who only pay 50% of the United tates tax burden need to pay their fair share, we need to make it 60% or 70% or more, its only fair. we need a balanced aproach, right

Oh, for sure.  My best dream is always the one where I happily pay the government 98% of my income.
