Yes we have a spending problem, because the priorities on what this government spends money on are totally screwed up... Stop giving corporate welfare, stop giving tax breaks to those that simple don't need them but take them so they can pay less, start forcing those that have to give a little more to help those that don't have, isn't that the true meaning of what this country was founded on?
