True, true, but at least in the reality I live in, when the bank account is sitting at $0, much less at -$12,000,000,000,000 I can't decide to go out and spend more of what I obviously don't have.

Sadly, politicians seem to reside in some bizarro reality where such simple rules of sound economic policy aren't required to be employed, much less adhered to.

Another facet of the bizarro realm of politics that totally evades my sense of reason is that, let's say I wanna build a factory, but the locals are against me doing so, and make that well known, so I bribe the officials in charge of granting permits for such things and I get caught doin it, I'll be thrown in jail. In congressional matters, congresspeople can openly and publicly have their votes bought off (WITH the taxpayers own funds which damned sure doesn't even belong to those bandying all this $$ about) and it's not even considered a crime at all! Hell no, it's lauded as a victory for the democracy

It's just amazing how theft and manipulation of taxpayer $$$ is so commonplace that no one even seems to notice it anymore
