They rape us and we do nothing.
“Bravo Sierra” as the late great G. Gordon Liddy used to say on the radio.
There is no political will to deal with this.
There is a constituency for every single dollar spent by the federal government. Thus, there will be someone protesting any effort to trim back spending.
It is possible to balance the budget and pay down the debt, but doing so would require offending the beneficiaries of the government spending.
The Federal Government now spends more money on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, interest on the National Debt, and defense than it collects in taxes. So without cuts to those categories, even if the government totally eliminated all other spending, the budget still wouldn’t balance.
These massive deficits in spending every year, by every president of late, has kept the system barely functioning. The only ‘growth’ we get now has been massive deficits and debt, and Republican and Democrat voters show no interest in stopping that spending.
Congress delegates its responsibility to a commission.
Talk about gutless: “Leave it to a commission!”
Gads..... taxpayer dollars at work spending money to figure out how not to spend money.
The beast is ready to devour......
