There will come a day when we will be forced to cut military spending, cut entitlements, and/or raise taxes. Unless I am missing something, everything else in the budget is window dressing.
The day of reckoning might be 30, 40 years from now, and it is a terrible present to hand off to our kids and grandkids.
I see nothing but stunts and rhetoric from either party for decades. Our services are on credit, and we just hand future generations the bill. Any politician who tries to seriously solve this issue will be voted out of office, at least until our credit rating goes belly up, and we can’t continue borrowing.
