Oh yeah. There's plenty of money. Just print some more. When you print the money and need some, you just buy some more paper and ink. No big deal.
The defiicit this year is going to be $300 billion. Looks like if the Katrina subsidy and the Iraq war were taken out the country might actually break even.
But hey, the folks in Congress are on the job. In order to keep things somewhat managable they're cutting out Food Stamps for 225,000 households, cutting $10 billion from Medicaid this year alone, eliminating child care assistance for 330,000 kids and cutting out $400 million in foster-care payments.
So we have kids who will go hungry because there's no food, get sick because they're malnourished and can't get any medical care AND they'll have to stay home by themselves at 5 years old because Mom and Dad both have to work and they can't afford the $200 a week the daycare wants. All of this will result in CPS taking the kid away because of neglect and endangerment. But where will they put the kid? No money to pay for the foster care.
Aren't you SOOOOO glad Congress has the lives of the children at the forefront of their legislation?
But that's this week. Next week they cut the taxes paid by people like Oprah and Bill Gates by $70 billion. Since the Fed cut out all that spending to help the kids, no need to take as much of the money these people have, you know.
