its largest monthly deficit in history in February at $223 billion

Yes, but with a lot of effort, we may be able to cut $2B a month. That would help.

Right?

Last month’s federal deficit is nearly four times as large as the spending cuts House Republicans have passed in their spending bill

Yeah, those Republicans sure are gonna save us from Obammy and those rascally Democrats.

Neither party is serious about getting our spending under control.

This snowball is growing at a rate that cannot be sustained. If we’re not talking a year or two, then it’s a matter of months.

I am so disgusted with Washington, D. C. right now, I could spit nails.

All the news reports and talk show hosts need to introduce every budget and/or deficit propaganda story with..., “Remember our hypothetical guy Uncle Sammy?” “He’s that guy who makes $3,333 per paycheck but spends $5,721. Well, it’s been widely reported that everyone in Washington agrees it’s high time for Uncle Sammy to sacrifice. “Last week, President Obama and Congress finally hammered out an agreement that starting real soon, Uncle Sammy will slash his expenses by $6.20 every paycheck!!” “That’s right, every time Uncle Sammy gets his $3,333 paycheck, he promises to only spend $5,714.80. He is promising to do this for the entire year.”

How many households or businesses are stupid enough to operate this way. Yet, even our tough newly elected Washington folks stand in front of the camera and smile with accomplishment while reporting $4 Billion in cuts with a straight face.

The GOP however, is being really tough. They want $57 Billion more in cuts(thats right - they think Uncle Sammy should cough up another $88.27 per paycheck), but the Dems are saying that even if they could agree to $6 Billion more ($3.10), it would be devastating, much less another $88.27.

All the hundreds of Trillion Billions get hard to relate to. If I’ve done the math correctly, the numbers above though, are exactly how it translates for the average chump like you and me who pay Uncle Sammy’s monthly bills!!!

Maybe we need to force every conversation about budget and deficit to revole around the life of hypothetical Uncle Sammy and his average job and his bloated spending problem. Maybe the dialogue needs to be in USU’s (Uncle Sammy Units) rather than Billions and Trillions!!!

Maybe we should even think of Uncle Sammy as a guy who is unemployed but gets $3,333 in cash doled out by concerned family members every month. Then, the minute he gets $3,333, he wildly spends $5,721. $4 Billion, $10 Billion, $61 Billion, in terms of fixing the problem, what’s the difference!!!!

These people in our government are intentionally trying to destroy our country.

Hell, it’s so obvious.

These representatives and senators are supposed to be the best and the brightest we send to Washington.

Either they are incredibly ignorant or they are doing this on purpose.

My opinion, this is intentional.
