I guess you are under the impression that the government can just create money when it needs it and there will be no negative effect.
The national debt is smaller than it has been in decades when you take into account the size of our budget.
Here, I'll use simple math for you:
Say the US budget is $1000, and the debt is $250. That figures a debt of 25% of the budget.
Now... Say the US Budget goes out the window and is now $10,000 and the debt QUADRUPLES to a wopping $1000. OH MY GOD! Stop the Presses! The Debt is through the roof! But in reality, the debt represents what percent of the budget?
As for Social Security, why do you want the Government that you seem to take a great disdain to coddle you in later life?
More importantly, why do you think it's a good thing for the Government to have your money? How much money do you feel comfortable just giving away to the government knowing that you will never see it again.
Oh, and WTF is "Global Spending"?
None of this explains how you came to the conclusion that we will loose a war in Iran.
