It has got to stop somewhere. If our debt gets to $20 trillion, the interest on the debt will = the revenue from taxes. We can't afford anything but the interest, we will then default. We have to have a ballanced budget ammendment, and cut existing spending period, or we will default in about 4-6 years at the rate we are going. Either one of two things will happen, the government absolves and we will be like the Soviet Union and divide into 50 independent states or there will be a massive government take over of everything and we will be a communist nation. The latter is what Obama wants, a communist nation with the government running everything. Tea Party gets it, time to STOP NOW.
