Everyone is worried about political suicide, but give no heed to fiscal suicide. Congress has come up with nothing so far that is fiscally sound and workable for both the govt and Americans.
Because like all imbeciles and ignoramuses they willfully IGNORE the Sovereign and Immutable Laws in favor of the puny man-made laws they think make them gods. Economic laws like laws of physics do not change simply because we're America, and these idiots think bad stuff cannot happen to us because of how powerful and prosperous we are.
Kicking the economic can down the road while printing more money out of thin air and tacking on more entitlements and subsidies simply means that when the bough breaks (and it IS going to break), it is going to crush absolutely EVERYTHING underneath it. Probably when our currency becomes worthless overnight and digital money will be discovered to be less than thin air, everything will be crushed and Weimar will look like a picnic in comparison.
Meaning you and me and the entire country get to suffer, save for the morons who know what they did is unsustainable so they are prepping to hide inside mountains or on islands when it all comes down.
Because temporary god-like power while feathering their own nests and greasing the palms of those who keep them in power is more important than passing a viable nation onto their posterity.
Then again, a majority of them loathe the country to begin with and are in office to fundamentally transform us anyway.
