Ron Paul just said on Fox," if the Federal Goverment takes in 2 trillion dollars why can't they spend?

The reasons are simple. Congress and the president are always trying to come up with new program s to "help" people. All of these programs cost money and once a program begins it is near impossible to end it. They believe that a budget is written to spend every single penny of revenue or more. Then when something happens like a natural disaster or global conflict, they issue "emergency spending" and add to the deficit. This "emergency spending" is done every year so it should be included in the budget.

because the unions own the Democrats

because the two parties in power for the past ten years don't care about how much money they have.

"Reagan proves the deficit doesn't matter"

because democrats don't know how to balance a budget
