Champion spenders

To the Editor:

Don’t stop berating Speaker John Boehner or the House Republicans. After all, we would not want him or them to curtail any spending being planned now – on track for a $1.4 trillion deficit in 2013. That should make us the champions of all spenders.

The president’s 10-year plan also has that desired $1 trillion plus billions deficit per year – wow, now there is a concept for you. Anyone taking bets on just when the U.S. becomes totally bankrupt? Does anyone know another country that will pledge money to us so we can be saved?
