the backlash on spending is building.

I agree a spending cap also has to happen. More important the spending must become wise.

American politicians throw around billion dollar checks like they are one dollar chips in a casino.

I have learned often that it can be much easier to save a dollar than to earn another one.

i am against flat tax unless a fair exemption is in place for low income. something like $50,000. 15% tax rate currently till $56000 for couple. if 25% flat tax it is unfair to increase these people's taxes while reducing higher income imo
