We can't continue this spending and have this nation survive as we know it. I won't be affected seriously because I don't rely upon government programs & I am getting old. But my children & grand children will face a world where America becomes a 2nd or 3rd world country with nothing left in the cupboard. And do we think, China and the other then-powers of the world will deal graciously with the US? But our politicians are more concerned about staying in office than serving their country.
