This is not a Republican or Democrat caused mess. It's a "elected for life" mess, brought on by socialist progressives going back to FDR and even Wilson, and stoked by Democrats and Republicans alike.

We went over the "cliff" a long time ago, with all the "gifting" in the form of "social progress". The math is pretty simple...
