This whole deficit/tax mess that the people we've elected to take care of, *can't*...
We send billions of dollars every year overseas to different countries. Is that money that the government could use against the deficit? I understand that we should help those less fortunate...but there are a lot of people in our country who are going to be way less fortunate than they are now, since the deficit problem can't seem to be solved.
Anyway. If someone wants to try to explain this to me in small words, I'd be ever so grateful.
