          No it isn’t. The entire government is running on a fake budget pretty much indefinitely because Congress won’t raise taxes, or reign in spending. The bare minimum would be a balanced budget, only spending what they had with the sole exception being a massive temporary crisis.

          I deal with budgets as part of my job. When a project goes over I have to answer to the CEO.

            but we’re talking about the politicians, it takes work to balance a budget, they are not doing it, as you said, because… wait for it… they are doing the bare minimum. that’s what i said. I don’t disagree with you, we’re actually on the same page. if they would look at the government as a company, like you do, and the president as the CEO, it would be different. but it’s every man for himself out there

                    the sorry, I am using memmy and it’s next to impossible to find the context and thread. this app is not very good for long conversations with multiple threads in the same post. I’m tired of scrolling through the whole post so good luck to you.
