| It shouldn't even be a question. Anybody remotely informed and honest will admit it is a spending problem. | |

| It's a spending. problem that has gotten so bad they will need a revenue increase, if just for short term to straighten the ship.
The big problem is any increased revenue will give the sorry officials. we keep electing an excuse to spend more money. |

The government is acting like a teenager with their parents credit card.

cheers | Yes we would have filed bankruptcy a few year ago.
The US is in debt so deep, it will take more than cuts.

| I think President Obama should amend the constitution to allow more than two terms as President. Then he can pull an FDR and be President as long as wants to/is voted to. I mean, hell, GS already thinks he is Hitler reincarnate so this would do nicely for those highly intelligent people who think Obama is a fascist. | |
