You disagree that the debt is $16 trillion and there's a breaking point somewhere when the interest keeps mounting? That's insightful. Do continue.
You'd think someone college educated wouldn't instantly pull a strawman out of his ass to start an arguement with a fiscal conservative.
Let me clue you right now, the end of the war in Iraq did nothing to help the deficit and the end of the war in Afghanistan won't, either. It's not the DoD growing larger, which is just 19% of the budget. It's the entitlements and goodies that are about 60% of the budget and growing.
Cute. And what is your plan to cut entitlements and goodies without effecting the poor and the elderly who do rely on those things, after they pay into them via taxes? And when you reform these programs so that people cannot get access to Medicare/Medicaid/Food Stamps more readily [lowering the costs due to less people being helped], will you lower their taxes across the board to compensate for less services? And social security taxes, too. Because they would otherwise be paying into a system that does nothing for them.
How do you think a modern society exists? Through throwing the weak and the less of luck under the bus? No, it's a social contract between all of us, especially here in a country that call itself a democracy, to atleast not look the other way while others suffer.
I've seen a massive increase in people with a 'throw them away' attide akin to yours in the Republican world, and it scares me. We used to call people like you selfish pricks, but I guess that ran out of style long ago.
