Balance the budget now

In August of this year, Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, advised Congress that "The National debt is the biggest threat to our national security." In November, voter sentiment against the debt and deficit led to an historic rebuke of Congressional incumbents. In December, the President's Debt Commission laid out in stark terms the imminent economic impact of continued deficit spending. Apparently rejecting these clarion calls, the President and Congress acted in the lame-duck session to cut not one dime of federal spending, while increasing the national debt by nearly $1 trillion. They are ignoring a glaring problem that, if not addressed soon, will cause a panoply of other problems
