Second largest on record, why aren't we talking about a 3 trillion spending cut instead of increase.

At this point the actual number is no longer relevant.

Because it's an auction house not a government.

a trillion here....a trillion there......Why don’t they just raise the so-called “debt ceiling” to 800 septillion dollars and be done with the farce?

Dont we actually have to have a budget in order to have a budget deficit?

These knobs haven’t passed a budget for many years now.

Well, if HISTORY has taught us OLD FOLKS anything, I’d say WW III is pretty much around the corner.

That is, unless we’re too busy fighting Civil War II in our own American streets.

I guess we’ll see. :(

The last two-year's U.S. budget deficit of nearly $6 trillion equates to roughly $19,000 owed by every citizen (man, woman, or child, or whatever some folks deem themselves).

It's an overwhelming debt that cannot be repaid.

What is not stated in this article is that 61% of U.S. citizens (close to 200 million souls) pay $0.00 in federal taxes and many of them get refunds.

This is a pending catastrophe.

We live in a, "fait accompli", socialist state.

So, where are we now, 25 or 30 TRILLION in the hole WITHOUT counting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security’s money. With those, it is around $250 TRILLION in the hole. Stop this saying, this will make our grandchildren and great-grandchildren paying off OUR debt. Because THOSE TWO GROUPS will not touch those figures and bring them to zero. It will take 15-great-grandchildren to get it done, if then.

Merry Christmas, grandchildren!

And to boot, we’re going to add another $3.5 trillion for your birthday!
