Sooner or later that just won't work anymore and there simply will be no funds for any of these things that politicians just can't bring themselves to cut.

I've been hearing it since I was a teenager that if we didn't do something now, we would be screwed completely in the future.
But every year the politicians in Washington D.C. (congress and Senate) kick the can down the road by applying temporary fixes and borrowing more money. And no President has had the balls to take the bull by the horns and step in with some real leadership.

I think the "future" is almost here finally. And we are about to have no choice but to "cut" a whole lot...simply because there won't be any money to fund things.
It's very easy to promise the moon, but making good on those promises are usually impossible. Right now Romney is telling us he's going to lower taxes, increase spending for the military, decrease the deficit, and create jobs - And yet doesn't have a plan.

It's very easy to say "these are our goals" but once you get into office you get dragged into every fist fight and problem one can imagine.
