Whether you are a democrat or a republican you should be calling and emailing your elected representives and teliing them this has to stop. How much more borrowing can we do. This spending is beyond out-of-control.

This does need to stop. Now.
The very first thing we need to do is stop giving money to other countries. We give out $80 to $90 billion dollars in aid per year. We give aid to countries like Israel, Philippines, and even Canada. We give out aid to ALL countries. Israel should be paying us for our support, the Philippines should be paying us to thank us for freeing them from Japan, and Canada should be paying us because our politics are so damn entertaining.
In one stroke we just killed off a trillion dollars in debt.
