DEBT "REDUCTION"???

We are hearing lots of debate over so called reducing the deficit. My comment is that both sides are trying to treat the voters like mushrooms. You know the old saying. Don't give them and light and feed them lots of  natural fertilizer (****).
Maybe the problem is that our political "representatives" don't understand basic math.
My point is, that we are currently budgetting over ONE TRILLION = >$1,000,000,000,000.00, PER YEAR of debt increase.
Washington is arguing over whether to cut 4 or 6 TRILLION $$$$ over the next 12 or 10 years, from the budget.
WAKE UP !!!!!! That amounts to reducing spending by 300 to 500 BILLION per year. That is still spending more than the take in, and OBAMA needs to raise taxes in order to keep the deficit spending lower.
I understand the basics. If I MAX out my credit card, I don't reduce my debt by having the limit increased and then continue spending, on credit less each month. I must stop spending on credit and start reducing the balances.
Is there any hope for our government. WE MUST BE MORE RADICAL IN 2012 THAN WE WERE IN 2010. Watch voting records and vote out any encumbunts that don't seriously try to cut spending. That doesn't mean to just limit increases in spending, IT MEANS CUT!!!!
