Let me say that I don't believe them. I do not believe that our budget is balanced because they have had to go into the UIC funds, the civil service pension funds in order to achieve what they call a small surplus. But even if we granted that it was balanced, they have done nothing to address the 650 billion dollars of debt . It is a staggering debt that we are saddling our children with . Some people think that we are a party only of moral issues.
Theft is a moral issue, stealing money from our children.
We need to address that. We need to take the responsibility to pay off that debt. We figure that the only way to do that is to treat the national debt like a national mortgage. You make monthly mortgage payments. I make monthly mortgage payments.
