That to me is giving up and II refuse to accept it. Giving up on getting spending under control is giving up on the country...because it is unsustainable to continually borrow in order to meet current consumption...you can get away with it for a while, but not forever.

"Saying that spending will never decrease, and give me my damn tax refund" is a fairly short-sighted, and might I say selfish attitude. All you are doing is passing the buck to another generation to fix; your kids, grandkids, or great-grand kids..you simply cannot continue to spend more than you make without someone paying it back...somebody needs to pay it back.

(and this is not directed nor meant to offend anyone in particular...beleive me I understand the frustration)
