[QUOTE="I GOT ONE MORE, post: 706817, member: 5997"] It seems the next decade could portend major fiscal calamities. The US appears to be a train wreck about to happen. Obamacare aside, although a catalyst, entitlement spending is off the chart and unsustainable. I feel pretty helpless. Social Security is in the red this year with obligations out the ying yang. Sovereign debt is soaring on a global scale. Medicare, medicaid, I could go on and on. I mean, here we will witness history. Spend,spend, spend and so many wasted dollars. No real accountability. When I get to the end of my month, I always have money left over. Why? Because I spend less than I earn, such a concept lost in about the last 50 or 60 years. The government should be held to such a transparent standard. If they really had to balance a budget, every dollar would have a name. Republican or Democrat, matters not ..... they are all corrupt idiots and need to go if they can't be fiscally responsible. I saw a report about the "finance charge", if you will, on the current US debt. You know, like if you carry a balance on your credit card, its the interest the credit card company knifes you for not paying off your balance. You, the taxpayer pay a finance charge of $1,000,000,000, that's 1 billion. And that is DAILY. That's right, each and every day, 1 billion dollars is spent on NOTHING. That's about 700 thousand dollars every MINUTE. There are 1449 minutes in day. Your country is being run into the ground. It just boggles the mind. Buckle your seats folks, we are heading for a cliff or a wall or...... I can see this coming, and I'm just a UPS driver. Why can't lawmakers at the federal and state levels see it? [/QUOTE]
