Under our Constitution the one office that can really cut spending is the President.
Unfortunately national television wants high consumer spending supported by government money and they control the national debate.
So we’re forced to try to cut spending by electing congressmen to do it. It’s very ‘iffy’ that we’ll succeed in time.
Since the ruling class won’t cut spending because Free Stuff buys votes fort heifer-elections, there is no choice but to cut our own spending. Do without rather than go into debt. Teach your children to be thrifty and to manage money wisely. Remember the rule that if you must buy something, make sure it is made well enough to last several years, not disposable junk.
Most families have too much stuff that they rarely use. Sell the extras and put the money into an emergency fund or into retirement savings. You have to take care of yourself because the government is not going to help you or your family when the inevitable crash comes.
