Presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama signed off on budget after budget authorizing the spending of billions of dollars more than the tax revenue could support. 16 years of overspending has given us the massive debt we're paying on today. Maybe it's time for both Conservatives and Liberals to make it clear to our lawmakers that this is unacceptable. I urge all of you, to stop the partisan bickering and realize both sides are guilty of this. Write your lawmakers and make it clear this is unacceptable before it's too late. America has to either raise taxes, or cut spending, or both before we overspend our way to economic ruin.
Hopefully there is not one person here that would disagree with you.
Writing the lawmakers does not work, they are not in it for you, they are doing it for them, what they can get out of it.
The strongest way to send a message has been done, its the ONLY reason that Donald Trump is president elect. It was a very clear way of sending the message that we are no longer going to accept the establishment trash that they tell us we can choose from, we picked our own, someone that has no political experience, someone that does not owe one side or the other anything. Someone that claims he will try and correct this spending problem that the U.S seems to have.
Now we just bit our nails and hope that congress got the message and understood it and that Trump will actually try to do what he said he would do.
The way I see it, with hillary or any of the choices that the GOP put up for us to "pick" from, nothing would have changed, things would have only continued to get worse. With Trump however, its a crap shoot, He could either fix the problems, or he is going to make them worse than Hillary or anyone else could have ever dreamed of.
My only really big concern is that Trump is going to be picking some supreme court justices, screw ups in office are repairable, a screw up with a Supreme Court Justice could be damage that lasts for many many years.
