The Budget

All of this crisis over the Federal Budget and how to balance it reminds me of two ideas.
Maslow stated that all we need to live are air, water, food, and shelter. Clemens stated that "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecesary necessities.".
As far as I know, the gvernment still has a Tea Tasting Board to maintain the the quality of the taste of this heavenly beverage but has allowed the air and the water and the food and the shelter of the average American to go to hell! Is the board that was appointed in the seventies to oversee the fines on oil price gouging still meeting regularly and still holding all of the money?
When the average American reaches a budgetary crisis, we check our pants and under the couch cushions for spare change and have a garage sale. Has the government checked under the couch cushions lately or checked the garage for exercise equipment still in the boxes?
