Who makes even Charlie Sheen's rockstar spending look tame? Washington.

At first thought, Charlies Sheen hardly seems like a model for fiscal responsibility. But, unfortunately, Washington is far worse.
Washington's habit of spending far more than it takes in has driven the country into debt. And our economic situation is projected to only get worse.
The solution is clear, but not easy: spending cuts.
History shows that reducing government spending leads to sustained economic growth. And that's something (even Charlie Sheen) can get behind.

Background: Years of unsustainable government spending by Republicans and Democrats are bankrupting our country. Debt is a symptom of such overspending. And the US gross debt has reached $14 trillion -- the size of the US economy. This has only happened once before in American history: World War II.
But cheer up and don't let the sobering facts get you down on St. Patrick's Day! Because the Bankrupting America community is getting the message out that Washington must cut spending. You can help by sharing this video now!
