I suggest the government...democrats and republicans...stop spending money like crack addicts. And I suggest people in the country stop acting like whiny bitches and engage in their own lives. How much of that debt and deficit is going to paying for social programs? Why is that immigrants, legal and otherwise, can come here and succeed but so many natural born citizens cant?
We all agree spending needs to be cut, we just don't agree on what needs to be cut. The bigger obstacle to a balanced budget is that only one side thinks we need discontinue the tax cuts to the most wealthy.
Without both sides being addressed, spending and revenue, we will never get out of debt. And unless we commit to carrying out the reform of Wall Street, we face the same type of crash we've just been through again.
If you want to eliminate social programs, jobs will be needed that pay a living wage, enough to provide for survival, health insurance, and retirement. Unless you know of a third option? More prisons, workhouses perhaps?
