The scary piece is that this is just the federal level. When you include State and Local Government, the picture is that much worse.
I feel that we need fundamental and cultural changes. We need to stop our increasing reliability on the Government. People need to look in the mirror and take ownership of themselves and their families. People these days look to the Government with their hand out expecting a monetary solution. I know someone who has been on disability for “depression” since they were 38 years old and they are now in their 60’s, are you kidding me? These are the examples that make the system not work. People today need to start saving for their "golden years" and not expect or rely on the government to take care of them 100%. Government Healthcare is also not sustainable in its current form.

Our Government is in serious debt and they continue to spend. Any responsible person would not act like that in their own personal life or business. The Government is irresponsible to run like this. What strikes me is that the Federal “Net Interest Payment” is just under $200 Billion (probably paid to China). Our Interest Payment is more than the Corporate Income Tax revenue. It is almost ½ of the Unemployment Expenditures. Craziness……… Our Government has a serious spending problem……………………
