I'm not so much against what they are trying to do, but I'm against continual and permanent deficit spending, which is what we have chosen to do for 20 plus years, with one or two years of balanced budgets/surplus, and then 30+ years before that. So 50+ years of permanent and continual deficit spending, and then we are going to fix the country's problems with more deficit spending to cover-debts taken on by other people.
With regards to the deficits I just can't grasp how it can just go on and on with no end in sight. I understand that we pay on the debt every year, but at some point we need to have a reckoning. And it's a charade with the politicians. When the Dems are in power, the Repubs scream about social programs and then this and that and how much the deficit is going to be but when they repubs are in charge it's the same f'n thing.
What it boils down to in my mind is one thing-somebody, someday will have to pay. And it probably won't be the truly wealthy people, because the tax code is so screwed up and riddled with loop holes and all that garbage that there will always be a way out. The poor can't pay, because they don't have much in the first place. It will be the middle class, as always. Expected to give the tax breaks for the rich, and pay for the things the poor need.
