Spend Now, Pay Never, Collapse Eventually, Let Someone Else Worry About It

In order to make the cuts in government spending that will keep this country from going down the toilet financially, legislators would have to act in a way that would almost guarantee their rejection by the voters in a future election.

(a) Since the highest priority of politicians is re-election,
(b) Since American citizens will not put up with a decrease in government goodies, and
(c) Since the government can only take money away from taxpayers until there is nothing left to take -

Therefore -

Kiss the America you know goodbye; it's only a matter of time. And all of us will share the blame equally.

(The only real solution to the problem has nothing to do with money or politics.)
