The national debt just hit $38 trillion. 2 months after we crossed $37 trillion. This comes to $287,000 in for every household in America -- up $40,000 in the last year alone. Congress is spending us into bankruptcy.

4/ PRINTING MONEY TO PAY INTEREST The US added more debt in the last 4 years than its first 220 years combined. Interest payments > defense spending - historically, when great powers spend more on interest than defense, they cease to be great powers. Ferguson's Law in action. The math is grade school simple.
