The monthly tax revenue is enough to pay SS, Medicare, the military, and interest on the debt then it starts getting shaky. This is BS issue that is being run up the pole by both parties as they continue their little pissing match as federal spending needs to stay around 20% GDP and taxes adjusted. ( the prez likes around 23% ) Taxes ideally need to go back to the level of the Clinton presidency along with spending adjusted for inflation but both sides are to busy putting out garbage prop up this idiotic system we have now..

BO is showing that he knows how to manage a issue to get re elected but not exactly leading the way out of the darkness so to speak. Some say let the crap fly now as the spending will continue to the bloody assholes to break the economy and it will just happen down the road.

Pick your poison as it is a spectator sport.
