Insightful

Spending more than you take in is a "recipe for disaster". Aren't you stating the ?

Deficit spending is not a Republican issue. The House Appropriations Committee spends most of the money. It was under Republican control for 12 of the 30 years you cite. Your assertion is predictable and partisan.

This fiscal conservative thinks Federal spending, especially the sharp increases between 2000-2007, is THE problem. The federal government spends $10,000 per person in the U.S. not including States, cities, counties and school districts.

So I ask, if $55,000 per family of four (est) is not enough to stay current, much less address the national debt & Social Security projected shortfall ($9,000,000,000,000), then what will be enough?
