Re: Opinions on the U.S. federal government shutdown
I'd best stop commenting.
Nonetheless, the big elephant is that we (our government) are spending more than we earn. Tke a look at your own situation: how long would you be able to do the same? The deficit is 16 trillion or so. That's not the national debt - it's what we have spent beyond our income. It's untenable in the long run, and it'll get ugly when we have to fix it. Is Canada accepting applications for citizenship? Maybe Global Warming will make it kinda nice up there... ![]() |
