>>I'm for an America that taxes me as little as possible, spends money efficiently, but enough to pay ALL it's bills and pay down any DEBT, which should be retired ASAP.<<

Most Americans don't care about the debt because they have never ever felt the real burden of the debt Congress and the Executive Branch have piled up. In effect, Congress has borrowed and spent the money borrowed and never had to pay the real political price for having done so. Americans were never taxed to service the debts of their Congress. For the past half a century, the debt has been a painless experience for all concerned.
