And, as I understand it, he is going to freeze 17% of the government spending. He isn’t controlling the other 83%. Isn’t that like putting a spending limit on just 1 credit card?

There was an old joke about not being out of money because there are checks left in the checkbook. It looks like we can’t be out of money, because there is always next tax season (and generation) still left.

It sure feels good running up those credit cards, though. What a country!
