I didn't say it was reasonable, I just said it was historical. My basic thesis is that government spending needs to be decreased by a lot. Taxes need to be simplified and dropped.

I have no idea how any of the links prove my point on not having an actual budget in 1000+ days isn't increasing the problem. Heck the debt ceiling raise had parts that immediately added quite a lot of debt. Given that [3] says the deficit amounts will be going down is off base. I assume it ignores the CBO estimates[1].
