I looked at your link but fail to see how intergovernmental spending would effect the deficit. If one branch of the government buys items from another branch of the government, it would be an asset transfer not an expense. I guess there is more to it than that. Can you explain?I think we had a surplus in 1969 and 98-01.We have not had a surplus since 1957
I can say I am paying down my credit card $1000 extra this year... but it really is not factual when I add an additional $2000 to the total
I have no ideas?? Hardly... I have tons of ideas on what should be cut... and as for bringing it about... I grind politicians I come in contact with about the rules of the constitution and about the wasteful government spending... and I only support candidates who have an agenda to bring about some of that change.. and they drop from my support if they do not follow through... and as for my ideas about what should be cut... you are right that an idiot progressive will say cut the military (though military is one of the things constitutionally charged as a responsibility of the Fed) while calling for more and more increased entitlement programs (which are not a charge of the Fed in the constitution)... I go strictly by the enumerated powers and stand for having a constitutional amendment to rightfully empower the FED with additional responsibilities or powers... and that if congressional justification is not directly shown, the agencies and programs need to be defunded and gotten rid of
