And it is bull to say there isn't a revenue problem.  Your flat denial is absurd.  Now, you can argue there is a larger spending problem, but there is also a revenue problem.

Tax revenue is at a historic low when workforce participation is at a historic low... no way! That's unpossible!

Since you can't close the deficit by raising revenues, it is a spending problem. No amount of pointing to irrelevant numbers will change that.

Nah, it is ok, so long as the government doesn't do it.  In Somolia, just get bigger guns and a bigger private military and police force, and you are all set.  Somolia truly rewards the more competitive, smarter, stronger, and more industrious.  Plus, it had the added advantage of killing off the weak.
