Don't Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford - a 1 page book!

There is only 1 real answer: Simply spend less than you take in! There's $13 Trillion in U.S. National Debt on the books so far, and counting ( http://USdebtClock.org ), totaling over $53 Trillion in unpaid for obligations, already signed into U.S. law. Stack $53T dollars up, and it would go to the moon (238,850 miles one-way) and back over 6 1/2 times! Force politicians to face the NATIONAL DEBT problems! Without decisive government spending cuts, this will certainly ruin all Americans. There is no free lunch... Believe it when credible people are ringing alarm bells, including: former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker (Government Accounting Office), Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Ron Paul, Paul O'Neill, Robert Rubin, Paul Volcker, Bob Bixby. Watch more at http://www.youtube.com/user/IOUSAtheMovie (short movie) or http://www.ioUSAtheMovie.com or better yet, buy or rent the DVD! IOUSA quote "Wake up, America! We're on the brink of a financial meltdown. I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions."

"The Tea Party thinks the government shouldn’t buy things it can’t afford. V-P Joe Biden and Rep. Doyle (D-PA) think the Tea Party are terrorists. SNL writers think people shouldn’t buy things they can’t afford. Therefore SNL writers are terrorists." - Les Jones

@lskarin Thankfully, Keynes has been proven wrong repeatedly.

With due respect, "foreign aid" is a drop in the bucket. But the wars are not. The big fact is Americans want the government to do things but they don't want to be taxed for those doings. They consider Medicare and Social Security to be "untouchable," and want to go after "discretionary spending" when that is a relatively small part of the budget. Cheers.

If you believe Keynes had it right (as Richard Nixon did), a weak economy allows few options to cost cutters.

We should stop supporting 3rd world countries, and stop the pointless wars. THIS would save the economy.
