When you are close to losing your home due to financial issues and the bank asks you to give them info...?

Question

your spending habits, food, car payments, etc... Why isn't it the same for governments that spend OH, lets say over 9 trillion dollars. I agree that for along time we as Americans have indulged in some wealth, but when the "American Dream" is threatened, what do we say to the people that control it? What are you doing to tighten you belt? Secondly, what is our US Government doing to tighten theirs?

Answer 1

I have to say for a change that I totally agree with the answer that cbjack gave. It is the fault of the two political parties that we are in the mess we are in. I believe we should have a third independent party to help keep the other two a little more in touch with the citizens of the country. There are grave problems with both of our political parties.

Answer 2

We insist on electing democrats and republicans. So we get what we deserve. High taxes and higher spending. And a police state.

Answer 4

They are doing nothing to curb spending, they think they have a bottomless pit for money, and it is called your pocket.

Controls on spending must be put in place, and not exceeded, or the U.S. will be bankrupt like Russia was.
