I did like a call for a freeze on spending, but can someone explain the line about that's what a budget is, cause I must be a moron. If you are over your head in debt, isn't the first thing you do cut unnecessary spending, then get your payments organized based on the money you do have? I may have misunderstood him, but it seemed like he said that we will overspend again this year with the plan to freeze spending next year, because thats what a budget is. It really didn't sound right, it sounded more like "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today".
