Yes there is....our govt. in August (next month) will spend 300 BILLION dollar and "only" take in 174 BILLION in revenue. That means that not only are they not even trying to pay off the debt...they aren't even trying to STOP SPENDING NOW!
No matter what people say...when you step back and use common sense...you don't keep doing deficit spending (by almost TWICE your income) while you are already in the deepest debt in the history of mankind.
Today the govt. will bring in about 5 Billion dollars. My God that's an almost unbelievable amount of money. And that is just TODAY. ONE DAY. But guess what? They will SPEND almost 10 BILLION dollars!!!!
THAT is what is fucking our country. Not us. Not "big corporations" (who actually EARN their money). It's is the scoundrel, rascal, THIEVES we call "politicians" who no longer serve the country but have become career politicians who are ass raping our nation.
We're broke right? So what's the first thing we're gonna do? Pull back and cut things down to the bare minimum and start paying off the debt with the money we're saving right? Isn't that what YOU would do for you own household budget?
BUT NO...Instead of using common sense...our THIEVES in office started lobbing 1.2 million dollar missiles at Libya. And spending God knows how much everyday in Afghanistan to fight that "war" over getting Bin Laden (remember, that's why we invaded them)...oh I forgot, he's dead. Or still spending money on "not" fighting the war in Iraq to make sure we get Saddam Hussein and the weapons of mass destruction...
Hell, I can't even go on with this...it's just too damn ludicrous...
