National Debt

Holy Cow, the American government has to be the worst, least profitable business on the face of this planet. Unfortunately, it probably also has the highest amount of income of any business or government in the planet as well. Recent projects say that the budget deficit for the US Government will be about 438 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!! Holy cow!! But yet we have millions to throw away in aid to other countries when we can't even aid our selves. When does it stop? Someone has got to do something about this. So what do the candidates say???? NOTHING! In fact, both candidates with their tax cuts in place are projected to only increase the national debt by 3.5-5 trillion dollars. Currently the national debt is 9.7 trillion which is up 4 trillion from 8 years ago. Man, what happened to regulated spending. The sad part is.... THIS IS OUR MONEY!!!! Why do the American people allow this? Why don't our candidates care more about it? States can have balanced budgets but the federal government can't, why? Maybe we need to find a governor for the presidential position instead of another senator who doesn't know how to control a budget. They have much more experience balancing a budget than someone in the senate, just look at our national debt. It's time someone did something about this issue because this is just ridiculous.
