Seems a bit more important than gay anchor babies or whatever everyone's masturbating about.

America is bankrupt.
America is a fraud.
All the TBTF banks are bankrupt, except that the Feds allowed them to dump their debts on taxpayers, and escape. But the Repugs and banks conspired to make it much more difficult for individuals with, eg medical, catastrophes to file for bankruptcy.
America is ed, America is un able.
I can't wait for the Repugs to get back into power and save our asses, bomb Iran, and other fun.
I object and take exception to people who say that Obama & Congress are spending money like a drunken sailor…As a former drunken sailor, I quit when I ran out of money…
good call.
It adds that “closing the fiscal gap requires a permanent annual fiscal adjustment equal to about 14 percent of U.S. GDP.”
The fiscal gap is the value today (the present value) of the difference between projected spending (including servicing official debt) and projected revenue in all future years.
The Repug lie is that the deficit is due Magic Negro's spending.
The truth is that the deficit is almost completely on the Repugs, conservative/free market bull , neo-c*nt botched wars.

I think a good amount of people know.
The question is what can you do about it? (I mean in the general sense)

The TRUTH is that Republicans and Democrats share the blame equally.
I blame Mrs. Obama
not if you go by that graph
Apportionment of blame is so beside the point. If we can't get past that we're ed.
Raise taxes, cut services. Who's in?
True. But nevertheless the debate about who's 50.1% responsible rages on...........
Not the current crop of politicians...
There's a few of us.
Unfortunately none of us are in office..............
We can't put it off forever. If we wait too long the market (and the miracle of compounded interest) will enforce austerity on us and it won't be pretty.
I'm in.
As long as it's your services..
Seems so simple, doesn't it?
I'm in.
As long as it's your services..
BTW, that was a joke.
As I have said previously, I'm in.
this is a horse discussion.
govt needs to undergo a sea change.
wtf does it help if taxpayers do some belt tightening?
gov is going to find some way to funnel money to the war and to wall st...to line their own pockets
thank you!
"TRUTH is that Republicans and Democrats share the blame equally."
the TRUTH is you're a liar.
Rampant deregulation,
rampant non-enforcement of regulations (esp financial regulations),
repealing Glass-Steagall,
unfunded Medicare Part D
forbidding govt to negotiate as single-buyer with BigMedical
tax cuts for wealthy while raising taxes on the non-wealthy,
"government is the problem"
"tax cuts pay for themselves"
fomenting hate for all govt-too-big-to-drown-in-a-bathtub,
bogusly invading Iraq-for-oil
... are all Repug/Movement Conservative/neo-c*nt aggressive iniatives, where the chicken Dems went along.
Now GFY.
The Repugs ain't done anything positive for the USA since Eisenhower.
Jeez dude, just kill yourself and get it over with.
Both need to happen. Both admittedly are very unlikely.
Recalcitrance to the necessary changes doesn't change the reality of the situation: the longer we put off getting down to brass tacks the more painful it will be whenever we get wise, or it is no longer avoidable.
