We are really fucked up financially. There has to be pain. Spending has to be cut and revenue needs to be raised.

Imagine for a second...that military spending is cut in half. We bring home the troops from around the world.

Also, the US is taking in more revenue than ever before in history. They don't need more money...they'll just waste it.
That's like me going on a spending binge way past what I actually earn. And continuing to do so no matter what happens. You would tell me to STOP spending.
Unless...unless, I had a way to bring in more money like magic!
And that would be the federal govt.
EDIT: I do enjoy discussing this with you guys. Thank God Paul Markham isn't in here fucking it all up. lol
