Defining terms of budget

To the Editor:

Let us try and simplify the reason for the ridiculous name calling and questionable actions that are taking place. It is because the Republicans want to balance the budget and the Democrats don’t want to. Perhaps we should define some terms. Budget is what they hope to collect in revenue and that is hopefully going to match the expenses for that year. If the revenue doesn’t match the expenses then we go further in debt. Our debt will be 17 trillion dollars on or about 10-17-13. We now take one dime, one nickle and one penny out of each dollar that we collect to pay the interest!...
