The U.S. Senate, for the first time in FOUR years barely passes a budget which does not address the federal debt or deficit in any significant way.

What, may I ask, is the plan here? What am I missing? I want to be fair in my assessment of their (i.e. the Democratic Party's) contribution to the fiscal peril facing our Republic.

Thank you in advance.

Oh STFU! You don't give two shits about the deficit.

The only true way to get government spending under control is for the reductions to come from all points of the compass, to include defense spending that Republicans love, and entitlements (including Baby Boomer social security) loved by Democrats.

That is the only way to address the issue.

There are things that can be done by ordinary citizens. Take money out of the "too big to fail" banks. Buy products actually made in the USA to reduce the trade deficit. Push for removal of incentives that encourage exportation of US jobs. Hire local contractors and whenever possible, buy local. Barter. Stay away from WalMart, one of the biggest offenders in supporting the exodus of US jobs and the exploitation of foreign labor. Start your own business, and make it green. Legalize hemp. Push your elected representatives to take the money out of politics at every level of government.
