80 MPH is still accelerating towards the cliff. No foot on the brake.
Support people who won't make cuts? Not me. I support Ron Paul whose budget cuts $1 trillion in one year.
What cliff?
Default. Insolvency. Bankruptcy. Take your pick.
Default / insolvency / bankruptcy are not a threat - we've been adding to the debt for 60+ years with noone scaling it back, ever. Shit, I wonder how many decision makers regarding the purchase of our debt are actually dead now?
As long as "people make things and people want things," the world will be ok. The rest is just an antiquated shell game designed to keep the citizenry thinking that money matters. It doesn't. The world is all about resource management. The US is doing probably the best in the world at it, which is why the World's been on our dicks since WW2.
