Imagine what could be done with that money if you spent it on schools, investment on renewable energy, upgrading the sagging infrastructure etc.

There's the rub. The money's NOT THERE... The US is spending what it doesn't have, and has to stop doing that...

It's not about money being there or not, government budgets don't work like that. It's about saddling the next generation with more and more debt. It's trading the future for short term gains.
