[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5742629, member: 24302"] Where and when do we start? No time like the present. Politically it's a brilliant move. Can demonstrate just how much Democrats stand behind Israel. We need to stop writing blank checks to everyone and start robbing Peter to pay Paul with money that's already been earmarked. Do you have kids? Grandkids? Nephews and nieces? Don't know about you but I'll likely be gone in 20 years. It's not about me. If we're going to leave them a viable country we need to start making hard decisions. We're paying almost $900 billion in interest alone this year to service our debt. That will only increase if we keep adding to the debt. We were paying a little over a third of that before interest rates surged. At some point the government will collapse if we continue the high deficit spending. Unfortunately some have to find out the hard way. The rest of us would prefer not to. [/QUOTE]
