    Thanks Grin. 5th grade was kinda tough. My point was that everyone is raising hell about the 7 trillion mark. It was inevitable no matter who was in office. The Democrats are just trying to get as much crap started as they possibly can. I'm sure the Republicans started the same crap when Clinton blew past the 5 trillion mark.

    I think it's really quite simple.They way I do my budget.Cut spending until you're under budget and keep it there.We damn sure can't spend what we don't have.But I know that is way to easy for the Feds.

    The Constitution clearly outlines the things that the Federal Govt should pay for. We got fucked when the voting masses realized they could vote money into their pockets. It is now too late. As Christina says, anyone willing to make the changes neccessary and demanded in the Constitution will never get elected. The ignorant, unwashed public (VOR) wants to have their cake and eat it too.

    The solution? Do what GWII is doing and bankrupt the whole damned country. Hard to pay for social programs when there is no money to do it. What we need is a Constitutional crisis on a grand scale to force the immediate closure of these out of control social programs. I don't see how anyone can Constitutionally defend social security when we cannot pay our military.

    Its funny how the Pubs were roundly lambasted for shutting down the government when they were trying to cut spending. Now they are lambasted for doing the opposite. You simply cannot have it both ways.

    Most Pubs will tell you that the "conspiracy theory" about bankrupting the country is just that - a crackpot :D theory. We'll see. It's a theory that's been around for about 20 years now so it doesn't seem to want to die. Norquist will crap his pants in glee if a major state has to do it.

    We should sell the country back to the indians for 7 trillion dollars. Then steal it back from them and start all over.
