Things will jst get worse if we keep ltttig them spend like drunks i wshington. There needs to be deep cuts because constantly increasing spending is what got us to this point. When you borrow 40 cents of every dollar not including interest you are in deep trouble.This presidents policies are killig the value of Dallrs people save and earn not even thinkig of no interest to speak of.

Alright, but thats not what I said, I said no democrats is trying to balance the budget with tax increases alone. Which is true. Biden, Obama, and everybody else involve keep repeating that everything is on the table and there will be spending cuts. Republicans are the only ones who don't have everything on the table (tax increases).

Even tax rates in excess of 90%, as was the case in previous decades, did not increase federal tax revenues.

Glad to see that someone on here has their thinking cap on.

As soon as they cut spending by anything more than a few billion here or there the U.S. Will go into recession immediately and every democrat and their mother will be ineligible for reelection. Theyll be the poster children for the demise...

So needless to say, they don't want to cut one red cent.
