U.S. running out of income sources

Since student loan reform was tacked onto the health care reform bill, of course, it was passed. There is nothing new about it. The doctor fix was left out of health care reform and a student loan was included.

It doesn't quite make any sense, but lately nothing that is happening in Washington makes any sense unless you call a total government takeover of our lives sensible. Now, health care and student loans can go down the same path of going broke as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and the post office. The only difference in Social Security is that we would have had the money if the government wouldn't have drained the Social Security Trust Fund in their unending thirst for spending beyond their income.

Now that the trust fund is broke, where will the government go next to feed its endless appetite to spend?
