“Nobody wants to cut the federal budget because of the economic pain it would cause.”
When people are cheated out of $35 trillion, some will be very upset.
I still think the problem is the “Peter in the wolf” situation. From the first time reagan exploded the debt to one trillion dollars for the first time ever to today at 32 trillion, we have heard the sky is falling and it never has. Is it any wonder why Americans yawn when yet again, they yell we’re doomed the debt is high.
