The subject of national debt is a little humorous to me ! Stop and think logically about it for 5 minutes . There are people in office that are (in most cases) decendants of the upper class,and part of the wealthier sections of society. They look at cut backs and budget shortfalls as an opportunity to get face time with a miriad of "Budget cuts", and other ideas that confound them because the majority have never struggled. They have never had to decide who gets a payment and who gets a phone call when they get paid on Friday . We need people at some level with some understanding of "hard times ". I think that is one reason this country had such a growth after the Great Depression. There were people in Government at every level who understood that something that isn't needed is the first cuts you make. Not trimming things that are needed.
For those who have served in the military ,you will know as I do the extent of waste in the government ! The most obvious are the ones that start happening in late August and into September ,when the fiscal budget ends.
Have you ever seen an entire squadron of fighter jets fueled and in standby,then the fuel gets removed and placed into drums so they can be refueled again? The fuel gets contaminated because it may go into a cooking oil barrel or whatever is handy.
Have you ever seen Snap -on tool boxes full of expensive tool jetisoned into the ocean in order to purchase more, at a cost of $20,000 per box.
Have you seen the waste of fuel ,tools ,food, clothes, vehicles, and much more so that your budget doesn't get cut next year? And you have the option of requesting more money to throw out next year !
That....in a nutshell is the United States Government in action my freinds !
If you dont think that happens at every level of government,you are kidding yourselves !
So to think that the people who are wasting so much of our economy and resources are really concerned about saving money and cutting the budget is insane ! They are the problem , not the solution.
I challenge everyone here to sit down at some point in the next 24 hours and actually read the Constitution. Our forefathers gave us a means to an end when the government gets out of control. But first we have to get up and away from Facebook and Twitter , and do something !
I am waiting for a body of activists who want to support and ensure the Constitution to make a stand ....because I will join them ! But I'm not expecting much.
