To some degree I agree, but we are at a point as a nation that we need to recognize some basic truths. We need to reduce spending, increase money coming in, and dedicate that money to the deficit.

It’s gonna suck, just like paying off that credit card after Christmas sucks, but once it is paid off our nation will be much better off.

Once paid off, we either invest heavily in our country to create a bigger and better economic engine, or we cut taxes to the point where we run even and give the American tax payer a break.

Unfortunately neither side sees it this way, so we continue to run in on a treadmill, never to advance.
