I seriously doubt any US Congress will ever be able to balance a budget, with 65% of expenditures mandatory, and they include Social Security and Medicare.
In 2015, $583 billion was borrowed to balance the budget. To put this into perspective, that is about $1.6 billion daily. At 6 a.m. today, you and I owed $61.282, and ‘debt per taxpayer’ was $165,804, and the clock was ‘wide-open’. Check the site, Google US Debt Clock.org.
