We waste too much of our budget already. We could cut the military budget by a certain amount, put that towards more useful things like clean energy, save more than we put in. Cut all money from the government to the oil industry as its billions wasted. Our banking system needs to be forced to pay up and clean up their acts. Honestly, we could save well over 1.2 trillion in the next 10 years including your added debt for "Obamacare." If we actually cleaned our government out and put in people who actually cared, things would be improving also. A very small percentage of our elected officials actually care. "Obamacare" may be socialist in idea, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. The idea itself id good. It could use some cleaning up, but most government decisions in our country could use that. Our overall reluctance to change is our current downfall. That and brainwashing. But everyone can blame anything on brainwashing. I honestly believe both parties need to be completely torn down and remade from the ground up with the people's best interests in mind. If we waste our time time targeting one, it continues the game of going back and forth and getting little done. I can say I'm not the best at phrasing things and explaining them, but I sill try to get the point across.
