just rough guesses on Reagan year spending and deficits
Strategic Defense Initiatives 40%
recession typical costs 40%
interest charges in high rate times 20%

Congress dictates spending
but that has left the USA wide open to zero restraint
how is Congress doing so far?
pork pork pork
socialiam socialism socialism

the Medicare Prescription Bill will (all alone) bankrupt the USGovt

I like to remind myself about the Trent Lott inspiration to build a carnival cruise liner off Biloxi Mzippi
the project was abandoned, well along the road
cost to taxpayers = $800 million

the USA proves that people cannot be in charge of people's spending
this country will be going thru serious hard times in the next several years

the US Constitution has been shredded in the last two decades:
search & seizure
civil liberties
presidential wars
CIA destabilization
unconstitutional money itself (not gold or silver)
Dept Treasury involvement in financial markets
Fed Chairman directing policy and spending patterns from false signal reading

shall I go on?

the country is going down the shithole
