    My point is, if the spending is discrsionary. That discretion can be exercised to eliminate that spending.

    It can. We need to elect Congress-members willing to end deficit spending. Defense is part of the discretionary budget we should not eliminate it.

    But it won't be done in one year or two years. It won't be done at all if we don't start with some cutting back. To think we will ever simply do it isn't realistic. Cutting back some each year is doable. When I say cut back I mean the amount, not the rate of growth.

    Our good faith and credit. The world doesn't have anything else. The whole value of the world wouldn't cover this much debt added to future pension debts and normal inflation.

    What Congress is going to vote to end it? None. They will inflate the economy first. Hello, Wiemar Republic. After that, who knows?
