America has reached a stupid place. What garners more attention, a privately funded renovation of the White House or our debt hitting $38 trillion just two months after reaching $37 trillion?
Completely agree. Anyone who tells you that they are dealing with the debt by cutting discretionary spending is lying to you. If you are not cutting so-called mandatory spending - Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security - then they are not serious.
Thanks, Steve; those big three are indisputably the most significant drivers of federal debt, and official Washington continues to ignore the problem out of political cowardice, including the White House.
