[DiogenesLamp]

A bill authored by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) that would require the federal government to balance the budget each year was soundly defeated last week in the Senate. Even Paul admitted he thought the bill had no chance, but he told the Washington Post his purpose was to point out Republican hypocrisy. Paul accused his Republican colleagues of engaging in an "unholy alliance" with Democrats to keep increasing spending, thereby adding to the deficit and national debt, which now exceeds $21 trillion with no end in sight.

An "alliance" to keep increasing spending? It's almost as if there is a big spending cartel that owns both parties, controls the news to support liberal spending, and is somehow making money from this excessive government spending.

I wonder how long this "alliance" has been operating to keep the Federal government spending excessive amounts of money? I wonder who is profiting from this?

Yes, another ping to the "cartel" of Washington DC that begin in the Civil War.

I wonder who is profiting from this?

You're kidding, right?

Just follow the bread crumbs and find out where the interest on the national debt goes. One thing I never figured out...
