It is easy to be generous with OPM. Other people’s money. All of Congress has this problem and both parties are guilty of it whether it is used to fund social programs or a war. I disagree with a progressive tax code and would like to see a flat tax. I know this will impact the poor, but so does gas tax, alcohol tax, cigarette tax, etc. There is no way you can not impact the poor and run the government with its present configuration. Frankly, the movie Mars Attacks had some good scenes in it.
