This is far past out of hand...

I actively try to avoid talking politics, religion, etc in any public forum. But this headline (screenshot below) is absolutely ridiculous. Here's to EVERYBODY taking responsibility for your own actions and stop looking for handouts... We need to make drastic, immediate changes to spending, borrowing and expenses on every single level. Clearly what the USA is doing isn't working. I'm sick of seeing unnecessary waste all around me. While also hearing about funds for important things coming up short (*cough* energy infrastructure *cough*).  Or we can just get a head-start on learning Mandarin.
