We cant afford it mate....the horse has bolted. The Libs have trashed the Covernment's balance sheet since 2013 accruing an extra $800 billion national debt and an extra half that in States/Muni debt by starving States of lollies.
And don't mention tax increases: we are already loaded with household & housing debt:
The best that we can hope for is to silo US Nukes and if the US lapses into a dictatorship and the above survey would seem to suggest, that could be a double edged sword, IMO.
