Stop spending more money than we earn and set strict laws regarding spending and debt

Created by G.E. on December 13, 2013

Hi mr.president I'm Gabriella Estrada I'm a middle schooler from Orlando Florida .I'm no expert in government but even I know that if we spend more than we make will end up in a big mess .Every time we borrow money the lender gets more control over us .We do not want to be at their mercy. When a normal person spends more than they earn.They have to pay for it and take responsibly .What makes you different ?The 4th section of the 14th amendment says " the validity of public debt of the United States....shall not be questioned" that's messed up what happened to consent of the governed . We should have a say on what we spend our money on. I know everything is a million times more complicated in politics but if we set aside our personal agendas for one thing we might get something done
