I think of the US budget is like investing in one's home. You can let it rot, not do maintenance and then pay steeply for the repairs as the house is falling down. The Republicans fiscal austerity is like letting the house fall to the ground before they decide to make repairs--which we all  know is more costly and badly needed.Moreover, Republicans know that in order to make a business grow you need invest in it,  To grow and preserve our future we need to invest in the nation and its people--investment in education, in stable and healthy children and adults, in cared for elders and in assuring our environment is healthy, Starving the nation because you do not want to contribute what is needed, by paying your fair of taxes (obvious as the Republicans first order of business  was reducing the necessary IRS staff, a perfect example) will never make for  a strong  and vital nation. Investment in the military alone, which they seem to be the only thing they want to invest in will never help us compete with the rest of the world who mostly seem to understand that taxes are the price we pay for a better society. We must invest in our nation. And do so humaely with our future in mind.
