But few families allow the kids to get-together and vote the one of the kids as head of the house to increase allowances and birthday presents. Or better yet, have new kids sneak in to the family and demand their own allowances.

sounds like the plot of a new SOL computer-toon...???

seriously though, why dont they just use last yrs 'revenues' and allot 90% of that and the rest to debt...???

next yr, wash rinse, repeat...

best 10 yr plan available...of course that unemploys all the budget forecasters in dc...

RE :”seriously though, why dont they just use last yrs ‘revenues’ and allot 90% of that and the rest to debt...???”

I dont understand
Last years reve-news are long spent. In fact soon this years will be too.

Here's a great poll question, how should congress handle the deficit ?
1) Raise your taxes
2) Raise your retirement age to 70
3) Both raise your taxes now and raise your retirement age to 70 (you can see how this will go)
4) Tax the livin daylights out of those fat cats like Bloomberg and Romney as I hate bthem anyway
5) Do nothing, just keep running deficits as we have been, that's the young people's (Obama voters) problem. They dont care, why should I?
