Its worse than that. If this next congress does not CUT spending... and I don’t mean cut the growth were the budget says 5% increases so we give them 3% and call it a 2% cut.
I mean outright reduce spending to BELOW Clinton Era spending. We are DONE. FINISHED. OVER.
14 TRILLION will take 14 YEARS to recover. And it will take 14 consecutive years of double digit growth to do it.
Do you know what? That has never happened.
In the 20’s, 50’s and 80’s we had 3 and 2 and 2 years of consecutive double digit economic growth. Never 4 years in a row. Never 5. or 6 or 7. How can we have TWICE that? 14?
We can’t. So we need to CUT. CUT and cut like a civil war trauma surgeon!
Very true! We need to reduce the federal government to the strict duties of national defense, interstate commerce, and the other narrowly defined roles in which they had. Cut the rest. Problems solved over night.
They will say we want to throw old people out into the cold, and make the poor eat dog food. So be it! We can no longer afford it! That’s a message that anyone that manages a household budget can understand! Poor people didn’t have ‘food stamps’ 200 years ago, and I’m sure they didn’t all starve to death in the streets. People will find a way for themselves, when they HAVE to.
