From us

Nope. We, or us, have been tapped out for decades. This money is on your kids, Grandkids and their kids. Many blame "The Congress" for this mess, and to a degree they are correct, but the greater blame is with the Senate. As I recall, since 2012 The House has passed budgets but the Senate under Harry Reid and McConald have gone the CR route to keep from ruffling feathers in the executive branch.

You see the Obama Administration has gotten quite a sweet deal from the Congress. When the Congress voted in the Stimulus Bill in 2009, it's been Continuing Resolutions ever since. A CR simply gives last years budget a redo for this year. That means that Obama has $860 Billion of free cash to use as he sees fit EVERY YEAR. It sure beats budget fights and other such problems that previous Presidents have had to face.

All in all, a pretty sweet deal. And yes, if it ever gets paid back (A doubtful proposition.), it won't be us that pays, but many generations down the road that will be on the hook.
