Our economies have not been paying their own costs for a long time. We've been having a party on deferred costs, capital, and loans.

You need to cut the military AND pentagon spending by 90%, eliminate many of the tax loop holes so those who should pay 35% actually ARE paying 35%, and then raise certain taxes on carbon energy. That alone would force change(s), while lowering the deficit.
It's hard to imagine 12+ years ago that Clinton had a government budge surplus, and since then, we are on the brink of collapse as a country financially. Fucking unreal.
