Sobering thoughts on the national debt

[tmckay2]

i am in no way making excuses for scum bag politicians, but the simple fact is even if they do honestly want fiscal responsibility and to fix the debt, its impossible. you need to have both the president and congress in complete control and have enough people agree on the severity of the issue. thats impossible for people who are rich and are paid by the tax payers. they don't live in reality. when you have a mixed bag of power like now and during part of reagan's term, its not possible to get SERIOUS changes done because you have to compromise on everything. compromise usually means failure for everyone in my opinion. with two parties you simply can't get enough big time things done to turn this ship around. we are seriously 100% f'ed.

So in other words George Soros is the only one that can save us now.
When ya put it like that ya may as well just give up here and now.

oh i have given up. i have zero faith enough people will get their act together to do anything about.

lest we forget, we aren't talking about balancing the budget so that we don't have a deficit. we are talking about needing to PRODUCE gains so we can pay down on the debt. do you really think that will ever happen? we will have to slash so many programs and money so many politicians have promised so many people, that there is NO WAY you can ever get enough politicians to agree on it. ever.

i mean having no deficit sounds all nice and good but its like being in mjaor debt yourself and then being super happy when for once in your life you don't spend more than you make. nevermind that you still have the debt and all the interest.
