Decreasing Poverty and Increasing Wealth

I do not like the idea of defficit spending. It makes me nervous. It sounds like buying a business with a credit card and hoping everything works out. Doesn't sound like the best idea, huh? I don't see how spending money we don't have is going to help us get out of debt as a country. Maybe if we budgeted better then we could work on getting out of debt and improving the economy. Maybe then prices would go back down a little and people could aford to buy what they need. It seems like the price of milk goes up everytime i go to the grocery store. Gas prices are still high. The unemployment rate is constantly increasing. We need to figure out some way to fix the damage we have done.
