I suspect you are a white male. Am I wrong?[/B]
It's basically because of the Sequester. And it isn't a good thing.

Why?
Because education programs and programs that provide kids with meals are getting defunded. It's also defunding research and science programs. I just talked to my friend from the WHOI and he told me that the sequester is causing vital cuts to their many projects that are checking into the effects of pollution on the sea.
That and it puts the kibosh on government hiring and is forcing furloughs, in addition to killing economic activity due to deferment of government projects.
It's bad all around.

Absolutely. The idea of balancing out a budget for a year is absolutely absurd! I mean, who the fuck does THAT anymore? We need to at least get the deficit to 3 trillion. Maybe 10 trillion. I mean, so many gubmint programs are needed!

He's not talking to you folks.
Because you've got your reality filters on.
The debt and deficit have been going down.
