You show your true colors when you assume I would need to ''control my wife's spending''. I am happy to say my wife and I have a marriage of cooperation and understanding with neither of us ''controlling'' the other. If you are still dragging your wife around by her hair shame on both of you.
Balanced budget!!...can you tell me the year and president when that last occured? Huh? Even a ''fool'' can see, when ''W'' came into office the national debit had been reduced by 400 billion under Bill Clinton and there was a 250 million budget surplus the year he left office...2000. 8 Years later under ''W'' the budget was 1.2 billion in deficit. It was in the same range of 1.2 to 1.4 billion for 2 years under Obama and then began to shrink and for 2015 was a little over 300 billion. No it is not good, but it is going in the right direction and I see no reason to do a Bush repeat by electing Trump. Under his plan if he serves 2 terms (shudder to think) the debt will be 32 to 34 trillion when he leaves office. Is that what you and you obedient wife want Mr Neanderthal?
