We're stuck. We need to quit spending so much. Plain and simple. It's not going to get any better regardless who wins.

We
can keep printing money; and we probably will. Yes, the end result will be a worthless dollar. Someone has to tell the people

No politician wants to go first. Both parties know we've go to cut spending, but no one has the balls to tell the people the party is over. Both sides are waiting on the other side to go first.
