Bringing over argument from previous thread since you did not want to continue it there.

In response to…

“A legit force that runs efficiently and doesn’t spend more than they take in and that treats everyone the same including the people that make the laws.”

Why doesn’t spend more than they take in?

Deficit spending is a fact of life for people, for companies, and for governments.

It is perfectly justified when spending x amount of money now prevents us from having to spend amount Y which is greater than x later.

For example it is better to go have us go into debt to repair a bridge, than leave it creaking and standing till it collapses and thus must be built again from scratch.

As for running effectively, talk to the GOP they’re the ones who insisted on transforming the filibuster into a mater of business as usual in the senate making an already undemocratic body (for it gives Wyoming as many votes as New York) even more so which has done more to create disjunction in our government than any other singular cause I can think of.

As for treating everyone the same, were you aware that the people in congress (not just congressmen but those who work for them as well) are forbidden from getting subsidies for coverage?

Read that artical and some of the ones it links to and tell me if you still feel want the GOP is trying to put forward is a good idea.
