re: #160 RogueOne

Even now when most people understand the seriousness of our debt situation people still want their personal favorite programs left alone.

Except the situation is fixable by raising taxes to Clinton-era levels and reducing military expenditures to the same level. In other words, we need to pull out of the middle east, and raise taxes slightly. That’s it.

The situation only seems so intractable because the most effective methods to fix it have effectively been taken off the table. It’s like an obese man chopping off his leg to lose weight, instead of laying off the twinkies and going for a daily walk.
