It doesn't take much research, i.e. I don't need any government funding, to tell you that the USG currently spends $1T more than it can fund through revenue and it must obtain further debt financing to maintain the profligate spending.

Do you have a problem with the gov't spending on that as well?

B/c if you do you may as well stop using the internet.

this shite takes the cake.

So if you are uneducated about something and don't have an immediate answer, it must be bullshite.

Do you not realize how stupid a stance like that is?
