YES, it IS a spending problem my friend.
And the answers they are coming up with is to cut the budget by 4 trillion dollars over TEN FUCKING YEARS!!!! That's only 400 billion per year! They need to stop spending that 4 trillion NOW.
If you or I are horribly in debt...we don't keep SPENDING more money and going further into debt. Nor do we borrow more money to pay for the money we already borrowed.
No...common sense tells you to STOP spending and start paying your debts. But it's easy for Congress to ignore that...they are spending money they never earned. Money they TAKE from us.

without gov spending my friend there wouldnt of been funding for the creation of the net. So you and I and most of the people in this forum should thanking their lucky stars for gov funding. lol During Eisenhower the road system wouldn't of happened without heavy gov spending. Now we got the lowest tax rates in this country and a road and bridge system falling apart.
Its more like you cant pay your bills but are only willing work a part time job. You and I pay a roughly a third of our income in payroll taxes . Where some hedge fund manager making 4 billion a year pays 15% or google pays 4 percent in business taxes. That doesnt work and of course spending will go up more people, things get more expensive. But while that's all happening you keep collecting less. It doesn't work.
I said it before I want the extreme right to win it all. The middle class needs a real wake up call that the people they talk about arent you. And then maybe things get real shitty we will get a real progressive because the democrats arent progressives they are republican lite. People are foolish when they call them liberals because they are so far from that. Probably the only two real liberals are Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich.
by the way raising the debt ceiling is to pay our current debts not raise spending.
