Quote from Ricter:
Our troubles are a result of declining revenue (tax cuts, recession), and heightened spending (safety net, war) occurring at the same time. We've been here before.
Quote from bigarrow:
Every financial problem I've had was solved by increasing income. Of course personal finance is different than government finance and I have my own business so I hustled my ass off to take up the slack. Too bad government can't bust their ass off to help with the finance problem.
