The problem that’s not going away.
Start with the debt that he inherited and add to it the $2.5 trillion that it is now estimated that he will add by the end of 2019 and you find that President Trump is racking up debt at a pace only slightly less than that of Barack Obama.
When you can’t pay the piper you can’t call the tune.
When the money drains away, the power to control events drains away with it. So the Brits learned in 1939. So we are learning in 2012.
Will we ever get serious?
The government has borrowed money over your signature and made promises in your name to the point that your household now owes $520,000.

NASA did its best to dress its deliveries of retired space shuttles to their respective final resting places as victory laps. They were no such thing. They were funeral processions.

Self-reliance means possessing and maintaining the ability to defend one’s self, something of which Europe is now utterly incapable. The president’s proposal to dramatically cut defense spending reveals disturbing parallels for the U.S.

Once the government starts handing out goodies, it’s hard to stop.
Forgiving student debt? Bad idea.
At over $1 trillion, total student debt in the United States now tops total credit card debt.Many debt-laden graduates will never get the money they paid out of their degrees.
Reality acceptance.
The human capacity for self-delusion is the only thing that explains why the left continues to cling to a tired and discredited belief system.
The useful Tea Party.
Administration apologists are blaming the Tea Party for the recent downgrade of U.S. debt by Standard & Poor’s. I disagree. I think the Tea Party forced a useful debate exactly as the founders would have hoped.
