However if your going to lower taxes...well thats fine. But you HAVE to keep spending low as well or else your going to get into trouble. I believe we are seeing the results of that in our nation.
If you plan on doing alot of spending, then make sure you have enough money coming in to foot the bill.
You cant have it both ways though. You cant spend alot and have no money coming in. Its just simple mathematics that if you put the two together it just doesn't work.
In real life if you go try to buy stuff without any money they will tell you to get lost. I guess in Government though you just invent some money or something lol.

I agree except that in real life, government just borrows money from our future and spends it. The same is true for probably half the country's consumers, they spend using their credit card and pay it back "later".
In my opinion congress should get exactly 20% of the entire adjusted gross pay for the entire nation as taxes and have that to spend, and they cannot spend a penny more than that without a 9/10ths vote in both house and senate. But that will never happen, so the debt will continue.
