Think about it KSMountain, if you owed a whole year’s worth of income on your credit cards, and and wanted to pay them off quickly, you’d have to tighten the belt for a while.

Brian, the government now owes 5 whole years of its income.
Every year, it borrows another 8 months of its income.
It is going to take more than tightening the belt for a while.[/quote]
And both the Dems and the GOP know it. However, neither side will admit it, because that will mean breaking some very hard truths to the voters.
So, the GOP will vociferously oppose any new taxes and the Dems will play the “They’re pushing Granny off a cliff!” game (which played very well in NY-26, BTW) and the bullshit will continue.
Both parties have stopped effectively governing and now just focus on getting re-elected, while kicking the can further and further down the road.
