[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 1162357, member: 9169"] Govt programs never die. The REA is still with us, for what, 75 years now? Think we still need a govt agency to help folks get electricity??? At least it's largely a loan program, so they get some of our money paid back and it's not all outflow. But in theory, it's like continuing to fund the Department of Blacksmithing or some such! True that to balance the budget all at once could wreck the economy. But if it doesn't get done and soon, there might not BE an economy. I bet the bunch of us could go thru the federal expenditures with a highlighter and take out billions of dollars worth of carp that hardly anybody would ever miss. And find waste and fraud that the $200k per year beaurocrats are blind to. 40 cents out of every dollar spent is borrowed. It takes what, another 15 cents per dollar just to service the existing debt? Pretty scary if you think about it. [/QUOTE]
