I hate it when people buy into this 'government is a business' mentality and that it should have a 'balanced budget'. Government is not a business and people shouldn't expect to run it like one. The money spent on social services circulates within the US economy but corporate tax cuts get funneled to off shore accounts never to see the light of day within US borders. So what the politicians should be fixing are corporate finance rules and not social security, medicaid or some other social service.
