Let me put this in real life terms...I go out and spend tons of money and buy everything on credit. Now...it's time to pay the credit card. But instead of STOPPING SPENDING ON MORE SHIT AND PAYING MY BILLS, instead I KEEP SPENDING EVEN MORE! And then I BORROW MORE TO PAY THE INTEREST ON MY DEBT.
Am I the only one who finds this entire thing insane? Shouldn't we STOP spending immediately on stupid shit (like all the wars and our military in over 100 countries) and redirect our tax revenues towards...PAYING THE FUCKING DEBT????
I know if any of us tried this shit in real life it would never fly.
I hear the republicans fighting with the democrats and they are "getting close" to cutting 4 trillion dollars in spending...OVER TEN FUCKING YEARS!!!
They need to cut 4 trillion dollars TODAY. And even that won't cover it.
Does anybody in Washington D.C. know simple mathematics???

The thing is if you stop spending TODAY then nothing gets paid for. So our soldiers don't get checks. SS recipents don't get checks. Doctors don't get their medicare payments so then they'll stop seeing medicare patients. Government employees don't get paid. etc etc In real life even if your in debt you still have to fucking eat or you die so no you're not going to stop spending in real life either.
