More on the Deficit

Brett Stanley's recent article discusses the national debt. Our government fails to demonstrate any true effective means with which to solve the issue.


The deficit that the United States is working under is getting ridiculous. The media always report on signs that pointed to the economy collapse in hindsight; is this going to be something we point to later as the cause of an even greater collapse? Our delegates in Congress refuse to compromise, taking over 7 months to create a spending plan for the fiscal year of 2011, which dictates spending for a mere 5 months.

Where's the sense of punctuality the citizens were demanding in 2008? The government encourages its constituents to live within their means, but does not do the same itself. Congressmen and women need to make serious compromises to get the government out of the deep deficit that has been dug. Lower taxes and government programs will mean nothing when the United States no longer has the power to keep itself running effectively.
