When those don't work, you've set it up so that the next step is to go to court and ask for a downward deviation because you just can't live in your budget and it needs to be sustainable, so OBVIOUSLY the thing that should be cut is child support.

Everything else is a credit-approved, budgeted item and you income is spoken for. Plus, child support is probably bigger than all of those smaller items anyway. Sound like a balanced budget argument?

The economy is strong (ish), unemployment is low (ish). This is when you pay down bills, put back the $ you borrowed from the piggy bank and get your house in order for leaner times.

Congress is setting up to come for your social security, medicare and medicaid. They have been dipping into your piggy bank for years and not properly paying back. Want to hear the argument?

I took this commission job for you and have struggled to make ends meet in hope I could provide more. Why are you so obsessed with $?
We cut taxes to help the ecomony and put $ back in your pocket. We thought it would work for growth, but YOU didn't spend enough.

I had to restructure my life to be a healthy parent with a safe car and less stress so I could be functional. Think about the vegetables, everyone loves veggies!
We passed this budget so that you would have a functional government, so the troops would get paid.

I have to stay within my budget. This stuff just can't be cut. I'M OBLIGATED! Do you want me to file bankruptcy because I've had to borrow everything from the kids piggy bank? They'll be fine and you can get another job for your needs. Why is this my problem?

We have to have a balanced budget. It's law! It's responsible! Our problem is social security/medicare/medicaid. We simply can't repay the $ or contribute more so we'll have to restructure it so it's there later. Some is better than none! Quit whining! Get a job!

When you set up a system to make it so you can't pay, it's very easy to make it look very rational. Not collecting enough, overspending, then demanding a budget that cuts your moral and legal obligations is crap. Don't fall for it.

Your representative should be... 1. Smart enough to see this coming 2. Compassionate enough to think it's wrong 3. Wise enough to do better We should be fiscally prudent. We should *not* manufacture a crisis through poor choices, play hero, then blame others.

Remember that right now we have exactly the government we deserve. If that doesn't work for you, choose different.
Get educated.
Get involved.
Ask questions.
Challenge your representatives.
Vote wisely.
Deserve the government we want. /end

The we is collective. I'm stuck with this too and willing to give up nearly all of my discretionary time to commit to change. Responsibility for failure is power to change. It's a challenge to get (or stay) active as a society.
