Congress, What Will You Do About the Debt?

One hundred fifty thousand dollars apiece. That’s the debt each child born in America will owe on the $10 trillion dollar debt, mostly to the Chinese. Yes, it’s the President’s policies that have brought this disaster-in-the-making upon America, but you in Congress went along with it. I never read of any efforts you made to urge fiscal responsibility or prudence. No, you voted to enact tax cuts when we had a surplus (though we still had a lot of debt) and continued to do so when the debt skyrocketed. Now it is almost double what it was five years ago when Bush took office. The debt and our dependence on foreign lenders like China threatens our economic stability and our national security. It happened on your watch. What are you going to do about it?
