EJ gets about 1/3 of a clap from me. He misses entirely the point that we WOULDN'T have deficits IF the Congress would stop spending. Even the $8-9 BILLION dollars of Pork in the recent Omnibus bill didn't need to be spent, and the Congress darn well knows it.

The Congress treats budget making as if they were playing in the sandbox....not a care in the world.

It would be like any of us making our own budget, and including a Lamborghini ---"pretending" of course, and "forgetting naturally" that we have NO money to pay for such a car. So we take it OUT of our own budget and ADD something else, because we con ourselves into thinking we have "saved" a lot of money by not buying the expensive thing, so we can buy something else.

Convoluted BS.
