    Basic logic: If I have OVER SPENT more of my income than my living expenses, do I go out and SPEND lots more to better myself? Of course not! So how am I any different than the government? Lets get real!!!!
    We are only robbing from our Grandchildren so we can keep spending foolishly today. This is immoral!
