Go to usdebtclock.org and grab an air sickness bag. We're spending $1.1 TRILLION on the interest alone on our debt. That's money just thrown away and growing exponentially as politicians continue investing in their pet causes and themselves. In 1980 the Federal debt to GDP ratio was 34.54%. Now it's 122% Well with all that "INVESTING" seems like we'd be a lot better off. Well Joe, Mitch and Chuck sure are. So...some solutions: Adhere to the Constitution. Abide by the 10th Amendment. Cap Federal Spending at 20% of the previous year's GDP so the government only gets more money if the nation does well. At 20% that would give them $5.7 trillion annually. (Defense, Medicare, SSI and interest add up to $5.2 trillion.The biggest jump lately has been on interest after the Fed raised rates frequently to drive down the inflation caused by Biden's war on fossil fuels.) Let DOGE do its work. Seems like if we just cut out waste and fraud we'd save 100's of BILLIONS...probably more. Pass sweeping voter integrity protections by issuing a national voter I.D. that states have to use in all national elections issued to U.S. citizens only. Secure our borders but also finalize a reasonable 12 month path to citizenship with that process ONLY allowed for immigrants who enter legally. C'mon Man!
