>> Since tax revenues cover just 60pc of the federal budget, the squeeze would have to be on a scale large enough within a few months to tip the US economy into a downward spiral and take the world with it.

Arguably true, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s the RIGHT thing to do.

Let’s take our lumps now. Start living within our means NOW, cold turkey. We’ll make it through and come out STRONGER if we have the guts to do it.

I dare say a 40% cut in socialist handouts would be felt more by commie/lib slaggards than Conservatives.

It feels good being prepared.
