March 26, 2012, 10:54am (report abuse)I want a balanced budget. I can't run my house on a deficit budget, why should the government be able to do it? Better than a balanced budget would be one where the "baseline" method is not used and the feds limit their spending to what is coming in, or less. Makes no sense to me, never has.

March 26, 2012, 6:01pm (report abuse)Anything less than ending the federal reserve banking system and prosecuting the liars who lied this nation to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya, and soon Iran, or Syria, is a waste of time. This government is corrupt from the county level to the very top at the white house. Ron Paul 2012

March 29, 2012, 5:34pm (report abuse)Because you can NOT "run a country like a business" - OR a household.
The goals are TOTALLY different as are the expenditures, inherited and not, and the consequences of not paying them.
Government is an agreement of people to pool ther money nd choose people to decide how to spend it in the best interests of ALL - or a majority, but certainly not EVER those of a powerful (=rich) few. They can not only take care of themselves, but are disposed BY DEFINITION to predation on the many.
Thus government exists to protect the INDIVIDUAL against business and should never -EVER- help, consider, or even consider input from, business.
