United States Budget Dilemma - Have We Gone Past The Point of No Return?

The following video is a real good look at why the Federal Government can't get their budgets balanced.

Even Rep. Paul Ryan's budget, as tight as he can make it results in a deficit!

We may already be beyond where Greece and some of the Eurozone countries are regarding their debt and the ability to get back to a balanced budget! If it is ugly in Europe one can only imagine how bad things will get here in the good old USA.

Ron Paul:
1. Cut 1T from Uncle Sam's purse strings, year one
2. Cut 5 agencies, year one
3. Stop non-sensical police actions, pronto

What do the other guys and gals propose?

Let it collapse if it will.

Nothing will ever stop the spending except an end to the gravy train.

We deserve no less because we have earned it.

(In the end though, Washington will just print more money.)

Earned in one sense, unearned in another. Let the next bubble be Uncle Sammy's last.

I'm missing something... there is no budget. Hairy Reid has not allowed one to even be drafted for over three years and has indicated he sees no need to do one. I guess if you have an unlimited checkbook (i.e. your's and my tax wallet) that he's right. If Jeannie "the Sham" Shaheen ever has a public town Hall, why don't you ask her what her mentor is doing?
