Deep paper cuts

You'd think this article was about child abuse from the tone of it.  I imagine it is anxiety inducing for these people but middle class families should be grateful that they can afford to move.
The federal government has been given too much mercy and not enough disciplining.  People who are obviously untrustworthy almost always win elections and even those that almost win are not any more qualified.  It's no wonder Bill Clinton removed the federal deficit.  He came about two hairs away from stripping the military of its existence.  Osama Bin Laden attempted an attack on the twin towers the year Clinton took office.  We had our warning.  It's not like the Islamic terrorists were being inconspicuous.  We chose to ignore the issue and reelect all who joined in allowing us to do so.  We should have been studying our enemy and figuring out a method of counter terrorism most cost effective.  So yeah Bill Clinton ended his 2 terms with no deficit.  Bush jr undid all that by trying to adequately fund the military. Obama could've at least attempted to cut some government spending but instead he went the complete opposite direction.  All 3 of these Presidents got reelected.  And how many congressmen have drafted laws that nobody can find on the world wide web of all places??  That's reason enough to kick everyone out.  Maybe then it'll seem less appealing to make pacts against constituents.
So the government is in a tough spot.  If we don't reduce our deficit, we won't be able to handle adding anything to our plate of any grave importance like ISIS gaining traction to flourish, the effects of global epidemics on our communities or any number of possible scenarios.  We owe too much money.  If the government can't keep up, taxes will indeed increase.  This scenario here is just an appetizer.
