Yes I am willing to pay more as I know if that happened we would have a real balanced budget before the 2018 elections. Voters today don't give a rat's butt about out of control spending as it costs nothing, no pain or downside except for future generation. IMO

It'll NEVER be paid off...we will collapse before it's paid off. It'll get larger and larger and larger. I'll be close to 25-30 trillion when Trump leaves office.

That's the presidents jobs...to get the taxpayer to WANT to pay for various programs. The money eventually ending up in the pockets of the very wealthy. The poor aren't savers...they're spenders...that's why marketers target them and not you and I. It's why people of color are in most commercials, play the "smart one", the boss, the rich guy...and the white people serve them. They're trying to capture THEM as customers, not us. Because THEY are the new majority and the government gives half of them free money to spend.

What would happen? Would the US collapse if it had to balance spending and taxes? Trump's performance regarding this disaster is beinging judged by how much he can deliver with an empty checking account, the same model Bush used with Middle East war and Obama used with financial collapse. Now it's Texas turn. I'm still looking forward to a tax break and lower medical costs (sarcasm). Stock market up, i wonder why. What would happen to market if we balanced the federal budget. That would be a long term good thing but my guess is market would tank badly. Maybe I'm over stating but I can see no way this can turnout well.

They borrow about 25%...over a $ trillion out of a $4 trillion + budget.

What are you going to cut? Welfare is over a $ trillion. The military is over a $ trillion. Healthcare is over a $ trillion. Take 1/3 from each? That's a lot of people losing jobs.

Texas keeps expecting us to bail them out while lying about what the oil companies are doing to us and failing to prepare despite years of warnings from climate scientists that Houston was a sitting duck. There was a great article today saying ExxonMobil, Chevron, Koch Industries, ConocoPhillips, Halliburton, and other oil giants doing your business in Texas: You put up the first $25 billion in Houston disaster relief. Call it compensation for your emissions. Sachs: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, you need to resign - CNN

No...it will come here too...that's WHY they're here because of our generous socialized welfare system. While whites can't afford a child...minorities make a profit form them.

Socialism comes from women and minorities...both gain from it.




How much are they willing to borrow?

Now you're REALLY making me angry. I'm from New Mexico, a beautiful state filled with fabulous culture, diversity, history, and people. We are proudly multicultural. My friends speak Spanish with their families and flawless English with me. They are smart, educated, have good jobs and are hard workers, and they are patriotic AMERICAN CITIZENS. Get off your smug assumption that your pale skin somehow makes you better than my friends.

Stop with your tunnel vision, only seeing what you want to see.

We'll be paying for Houston for a long time into the future.

Disaster recovery bonds could be issued and backed up with the full faith and credit of the lone star state. Texans always pride themselves as independent. We'll see how this all plays out.

And WHO was going to pay to upgrade it? Nobody would ave expected or planned for the rains they got...what up to 5 ft of it?

You'd be laughed out of the place if you suggested a drainage system that would handle 5 ft of rain within a week.

That was BEFORE Texas became a minority majority.

On Galveston Island, there is the Galveston National Laboratory, which is part of the University of Texas Medical Branch. This laboratory contains some of the most deadly biological agents found in the known world. It contain several Bio-Safety Level 4 labs, which are basically the places where plagues are studied. And here's the thing—nobody knows what's going on there at the moment.
