The budget is going to increase and it HAS increased already. They will keep building on it instead of facing reality.
Even if it stayed the same as this year, we are so far in the hole that we might never get out
We're already there my FRiend.
Sometime, try to amortize the debt amounts presented by an organization such as U.S. Debt Clock using any reasonable assumption for growth in tax receipts and reduced spending. It can't be done. Default is inevitable! And that's not including the cost of "contingent" and/or "off-balance sheet" obligations such as unfunded pensions, GSE's (e.g. Fannie and Freddie), Medicare, Medicaid, etc.). The U.S. is hopelessly, unavoidedly, irreversibly broke.
After you crunch the numbers, refer to any economic history text to see what happens to countries who default on their debt obligations. And be advised that if you do, you won't sleep again for at least a week.
