I've said it before, i'll say it again.

The United States of America needs to gets its budget deficit under control. Every year your government keeps spending tankers of money it doesn't have.

This can not go on forever.

If you want the toys, you need to pony up and pay for them. You need to raise taxes rather significantly.

The american public has it's economic head up its ass. You want all the toys but seem to think that your taxes are already too high.

This kind of deficit financing year after year is a recipe for a disaster as more and more of your tax dollars goes to pay JUST THE INTEREST on the debt. (What, 7 trillion now)

I would think that a rather painless chop to make would be missile defence frankly.
