Notice how the interest on the debt keeps piling on. This is exactly why we citizens should demand the govt cut spending AND raise taxes, though logically doing that during a recession would be problematic, but it should be done ASAP. One big problem I see is that Americans want all these govt services but don't want to pay for them. They'd rather have a tax cut than a tax increase even though it's gonna cost us more in the long run.
