and it will be a tough slog to convince people that THEY are responsible for their own lives, and NOT the governments....
before 1998 we had a Republican Party that did that, and the result was a budget surplus.....
Since 1998, the post 1998 Republican Party has been as bad or worse than the Democrats on that issue....
If stopping the bleeding were the actual goal here shouldn't we be addressing the real monster? Unfunded Entitlements?

Trump gave post 1998 Republican Speaker Paul Ryan the chance to repeal ObamaCare....
What did post 1998 Republican Ryan do?
NOTHING
Unfunded mandates are a huge problem. The pre 1998 GOP kept that under control, mostly.... until W.....
Inquiry Confirms Top Medicare Official Threatened Actuary Over Cost of Drug Benefits
"An internal investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services confirms that the top Medicare official threatened to fire the program's chief actuary if he told Congress that drug benefits would probably cost much more than the White House acknowledged.
A report on the investigation, issued Tuesday, says the administrator of Medicare, Thomas A. Scully, issued the threat to Richard S. Foster while lawmakers were considering huge changes in the program last year. As a result, Mr. Foster's cost estimate did not become known until after the legislation was enacted"
the pre 1998 GOP would've impeached a President for this.
The post 1998 GOP didn't care, because it doesn't care about America, it cares only about Israel.
how would you balance the budget,

CUT SPENDING

I've already answered that
The greatness of the 1990s was that both spending and taxes were cut cut cut... and America prospered because of it.
SPENDING is the problem.
So, how do we convince the people who are now hooked on voting themselves freebies

How? Where? How much? All of it? Why don't you come up with your primo budget and present it to Congress . . .
Don't we already have tax brackets where the rich DO pay more already anyways?
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The idea of imposing a wealth tax on the richest Americans has elicited sharply divergent views across a spectrum of politicians, with President Donald Trump branding it socialist and progressive Democratic presidential contenders Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders prominently endorsing it.

Among the 4,441 respondents to the poll, 64% strongly or somewhat agreed that “the very rich should contribute an extra share of their total wealth each year to support public programs” - the essence of a wealth tax. Results were similar across gender, race and household income. While support among Democrats was stronger, at 77%, a majority of Republicans, 53%, also agreed with the idea.

If this is true, then the experiment called the United States of America as we know it is done....

The typical "Karl Rove voter" is just as eager to get a handout as the Democrat voter who refuses to work.
How do we convince people who never think, never question, and don't have any intelligence????
I don't know....
And aid to Israel is not going to solve it.
I think we need a "climate change"
Can't argue with that....So, how do we convince the people who are now hooked on voting themselves freebies, that they need to brush out these theives?

The United States as we know it is done, because of the will of the majority of the United States?
Interesting concept.
What is un-American is holding out on debts.
The 'majority of people' think that citizens should contribute to society in proportion to how much they benefit from it.
For instance, how much tax would you put on the difference in value between rich sons who stay home and poor sons that go die to defend rich sons?
Of course, that is merely one example.
