Title: The National Debt

Deserves its own thread. Peter G. Peterson was Nixon’s Secretary of Commerce. He died about five years ago and apparently this foundation works to educate people about the problem.

Blame the policy of the non-producers and women to be allowed to vote.  If it can only save one child (person), it's worth it mentality has destroyed fiscal responsibility.  Add the Man-Made Climate Change LIE, the War on Drugs, Open Borders, the MIC, etc.  Graft and corruption is on a level never seen before and out in the open. 

They're all responsible, Congress, the Presidents, Lobbyists, and US.

Yes, I see the irony that a woman started this thread.  Women here are an exception, not the rule.

This is a good site. Thanks Becky.

Keep in mind that this measures only debt in terms of bonds and other debt instruments. We still have liability for unfunded retirement and social security obligations which is above and beyond this.

Which is even scarier because it's unsecured debt of which the magnitude is nebulous.

I’m really glad the republicans have clamped down the border to stop that river of money from drowning us in debt.
