The US brings in 78% of what it spends. Period. So our taxes don't pay for what we get.
In fact, income tax is only a little more than 1/2 of the revenue.
So whatever. Lets stop pretending we have to be fiscally responsible in the US. We haven't passed a budget since 2008. It's just spending bills and continuing resolutions.
Give us healthcare. Don't bark about having the money. Just do it.
