text: is it logical to complain of funding cuts and the failure to balance the budget?   ... i mean... to question yes... of course... i mean they can make the cuts from a million different places... what's to say they are cutting where they should be cutting from?  but an attempt should be made to balance the budget... but that doesn't give someone an excuse to just randomly cut programs that may be important...   let's say they wanted to completely cut out all defense spending... and i wanted to "complain"... that doesn't mean i don't want a balanced budget, but i just don't agree with how they are doing it...   it's really pretty simple..  lancelot6... what you're saying is correct, but the flaw is... we're not paying it back...we're making like payments of $2 on borrowing $300 and it's not even paying for the interest accrued, so we're really paying like $600 to borrow $300... pretty stupid if you ask me...   i don't mind a debt that is managed wisely...
