We do need to cut the debt. We need to live within our means, now!

I have lived my entire life frugally to avoid debt. It worked for me and it will work for America, too. All spending should be based on revenue received. If you haven't got the money, you can't buy it! Why on earth are we borrowing money to fight the struggles of other countries when it is sinking us further in debt? We spent so much treasure and human life in Iraq, for what?
We didn't even get the fucking oil! The same is happening in Afghanistan.

I don't owe anyone a dime and I don't like having my share of the debt rising because some fucking politician thinks the military needs a boost and starts a war. I don't want a dime of my money going to any religion or religious based program. I don't want a dime of my money going to subsidies for oil companies that are fucking the shit out of me at the pump! I don't want any of my money going to corporate farmers to NOT plant crops!

There is so much pork to cut, we could be out of debt in fifteen or twenty years if we had a congress that knew math!
