Does anyone think any of the current dem candidates would do better?
To me it's all spending, but so much is considered mandatory 60%, making it nearly impossible to balance by only cutting the remaining 40%.
Why? total defense, nondefense is about 1.263 trillion. Means a balanced budget requires eliminating nearly all discretionary spending.
Of course, we could have a massive tax increase.
Which, would only make dems spend even more.

we are going to keep borrowing, spending until we can't pay interest anymore and default.
Enjoy the ride until then.
