No, it's definitely how they are spent and the amounts of money the govt. is spending that it doesn't even have (20 trillion in debt and growing).
There never seems to be a plan to really stop the debt from growing.
It's so bad that Congress had to pass a law to create a "Debt Ceiling".
And now, every year they vote to INCREASE it. And if you argue against it you are accused of "shutting down the govt."
What was the fucking point of a debt ceiling if it is never abided by?
Instead of new plans to spend more money...I'd like to see a real plan to STOP spending money.
Just my opinion.
But I do believe that if everything keeps being "Free" it's going to disincentivize people from wanting to work even further.
What's the point of working when you can have just as much by NOT working?
EDIT: But I do believe that income tax is a fucked up thing. It penalizes people for working.
It should be a national sales tax. With housing and food excluded from that tax.
