Another Record Month in the Red

Another Record Month in the Red →

The U.S. ran a $233 billion deficit, just in February alone. Fun fact:

As noted in the Washington Times, the GOP's proposed $61 billion in spending cuts is about 27 percent of the monthly deficit, while the Democratic plan — $6 billion — is just 3 percent of that figure.

Senator Rand Paul wants to cut $500 billion from the budget. No one in Washington is taking him seriously. And, yet, his proposal would still leave us with a budget deficit for 10 months out of the year.

Are there any adults in Washington? Any at all?
