16. When it comes to a balanced budget I hear it a lot.
You can't print your own money or steal your neighbor's so why should the government? They always say that families cut spending when they run out of money but that only goes so far which means some people take 2-3 jobs to make ends meet.

In the 50's one income could support a family of 4 and get a new car every 3 years and take a two week vacation to see the Grand Canyon etc.

Can't happen now, it takes two incomes to raise a family. Government should raise more income too, not cut down on it.
