Does Anyone feel like Bailing

[TheMercenary]

Senate passage of a $446.8 billion spending bill which, with required funding of Medicare and Social Security, will put nonmilitary federal expenditures for the fiscal year at $1.1 trillion, is a lot. The Pentagon appropriation, which is still to come, will amount to another $626 billion.

All that spending is so much above anticipated revenues as to require a $1.8 trillion increase in the country's legal debt limit, up to a stunning $13.9 trillion.

For Americans who give any thought to the national debt, the reaction is likely to be the same as when one holds out a credit card to cover some enormous holiday purchase and, in doing so, pictures the bill arriving in the mail in January. In this case, there are at least two ways to look at it.

Ain't that the damm truth. Does anyone else feel like the Congressional spending is akin to a drunken sailor on payday night? Here, let me apply for another credit card.
