If you owe the bank a million dollars that's your problem.
If you owe the bank several hundred million dollars, that's the Bank's problem.
The latter statement aptly describes our current position and everyday citizens of the US are "the Bank" and the money is already gone.
But somehow people continue to not only believe in the promises but demand that they do deserve and expect more.
It's kinda funny the promises on the govt demanded appear inversely related to their ability to make good on said promises.
guess where that trend leads?
