Why pay our debts when we can stash it under the mattress?

Lectures on Morality becoming commonplace in this country. Who is anyone to tell the next person where the moral standards should be when this country's politicians are the most immoral and corrupt bunch ! The country cannot pay its debts and the people going through the grind are expected to pay their bills??

There is moral degradation to a point where I am forced to think that if paying back your debt really is the best thing to do anymore. The average American works hard( that is if they have a job), pays their bills, pays Uncle Sam and yet looks at a bleak future of maybe no social security checks in the near future, no Medicare and wonders everyday where is his tax money going.

And on the other hand we have folks who are on either end of the spectrum. The super duper rich continue to rake it in because the political parties cover their behinds in tax subsidies and loopholes just to make sure that the political contributions continue. And the other end of the spectrum is the people who milk the system ! They refuse to work, collect money from the govt every week, and add on to the bleak unemployment numbers- and these people CHOOSE to be that way. And who is in the middle? People who either work or are looking for work. What are we doing in this country????? This is no longer the America I migrated to. It is becoming almost worse than the third world countries- at least there you knew the politicians were corrupt and nothing was going to happen, rather than presenting a polished exterior covering the jackal inside.

I am so angry at what is happening in Washington that I honestly propose that the tax payers should quit paying their taxes till these idiots come to their senses. Quit making your payments because your efforts are not being appreciated. Am I being ridiculous? Hell NO ! I am being honest and my anger is well founded. And before I stop, the media needs a serious gag shoved down their throats for causing more mayhem, confusion and propaganda than what is true. Good Luck America because you are becoming a country of bigots, playing dirty racial politics that I thought only existed outside the borders of the US.

I share your anger and frustration as well as your distrust of the sold-out politicians who pander to their major doners at the expense of the people that they were elected to represent. The current system is totally corrupted and in desperate need of change.

Thanks George. The system is broken and unless something major is done soon, we are doomed

I share your feelings -- most commentators wag fingers at Republicans OR democrats, depending upon their political orientation.  The truth is that BOTH parties have had their turn -- controlling both the White House and the Congress over the past several decades -- and they have BOTH sold us down the river.  The two party system has outlived its usefulness.

Eric, it is time for the REAL change rather than the political pitch that Obama made. I really want to start a rally of No Taxes to the govt where for one month no taxes are paid ! That should light a fire under the pants

The politicians are definitely feathering their own beds.  But we will end up like a third world country if they do not stop spending.  Cut the loop holes and the special interest tax breaks and use either a flat tax or a consumption tax.  If government took 100% of all incomes in the country it would add up to 7.6 Trillion.  We owe 14 trillion or taking everything we make will not pay the debt.

If we let thing run and tax the rich only we will not stop the excess cost of the country.  We will increase at about 7.5% per year.  That means that in 10 years our debt is over 25 Trillion.  We we took anyones plan we do not get it below 21 Trillion.  

The fact is that we are not going to have a military or social security or anything else at that point because 70 to 80 percent of the budget is just to pay other countries and our treasuries bonds. 

So we need to get real and cut the cost of government.

Rama, I couldn't agree more. We need to stop relying on the government to fix things. Politicians are corrupt and I agree with Eric's comment above, both parties have sold out.
