#1 This simple point needs to be repeated over and over. You can always spend more, but there isn't always more money to tax.
The other things that really grates is that when government borrows money it is essentially taxing future generations -- i.e. people who can't yet vote. Taxing people who can't vote to give goodies to people who can is anti-democratic. It represents a fundamental breakdown of our system of government.

#5 I agree with H-MCD. We're spending too much and if more folks were working there wouldn't be a revenue problem.

* TOPIX > [DPM Rogozin] RUSSIA SAYS "5-12" YEARS BEHIND IN DEFENSE ELECTRONICS. Needs more $$$ support from Moscow.
Methinks Rogozey Babey answered the question - gave the cause to the problem.
