You worry about limiting spending. As the nation grows, the need for spending grows.

When there is a real decline in population the need for growth will diminish. Such a real decline is not on the current horizon

Politics is the art of the possible. Politics in not the art of “I want”

The problem is entitlements. Generally, given the near 50/50 split there is no majority with the raw political power to make reductions in the entitlements.

Wall Street went up when ‘progress’ was reported on this deal Friday.

If the ‘entitlements’ are ever really cut it will impact business less business for stores those grocery stores especially.

Yes, you are 100% correct, The Ponzi scheme that is S.S. and the 8% annual increase in the Federal budget are here to stay.

So there are some questions to be answered sine you are invested in the art of the "possible".

The R give me nothing other than B.S.

The D get me to hell that much faster

The 3rd party is an unknown untried option that needs to by explored and tried
