Broke U.S. resumes spending

I have a feeling we will never spend with in the US budget. Can we please get some accountants into office? Im sick of these "lawyers" trying to do jobs they do not know how to.

Found this article saying how we can help balance the budget by just cutting a few things.

So, let me make some suggestions: Eliminate NPR and PBS funding. Cut foreign aid. End the war on drugs. Kill Fannie and Freddie, which financed Americas mortgages and helped cause the financial crisis. Eliminate cabinet departments like Commerce, Energy, Agriculture and Education, all activities that happen without any need for the federal government. (Education is a local function, and the department spending $100 billion a year hasnt raised test scores one bit.)

Shrink the military by reducing our overseas commitments. Reform Social Security by raising the retirement age. And, instead of increasing government involvement in healthcare, turn Medicare into a self-sustaining insurance program.

But, to save America from bankruptcy, we dont even need to make all those cuts. We could grow our way out of debt if Congress simply froze spending. They wont do that either, but if they limited spending growth to 2 percent per year, we could balance the budget in just three years.

Hopefully our representatives watch the news or have seen this. Maybe we can add finance classes at a local junior college in DC to the budget so all representatives can attend.

Dems think theyll catch cooties if they even look at a budget.

We never will. Not with a socialist in the white house and a socialist congress, yes, even some in the GOP are truly progressive.
