As a straight A MBA, I'm telling you that much of our "over spending," as you call it, can be normalized through a boom economy that removes people off social services enmasse and turns them into well paid taxpayers enmasse. This is supplemented with VATs on imports via trade reform, reform in the financial and banking sector, political sector reform (especially with respect to the legislature robbing entitlement funds and bailing out Wall Street), etc.... The budget gets balanced and the debt paid down too.
And why would I run for political office? As an independent political voter who is a Christian white male with conservative family values: I'd get crucified by the leftards and neo-cons just like Jesus was crucified by the unbelieving Jews and pagan Romans.

Heh what you say is true on the election stuff, but if you just did a lil good old fashioned carpet-bagging there's many districts that vote for ya just for being a moral and conservative candidate (you don't even have to actually be conservative, you just have to have GOPers say you are.) Heh I get your point though, probably won't happen, but honestly, I think just from reading your statements on our many political discussion despite disagreements here and there you'd make a good House of Representative, Senate, or Governor or local level candidate. Like I said, I'd vote for ya (though running in Ohio be tough, big swing state here, no Party is guranteed victory ever.)
EDIT: also just saw you post on the Social Problems with links. Aye I 100% agree with you there!
