1. We are $36 trillion in debt.

2. If they don’t find savings we are in for a massive tax hike this year.

A great ship, to be sure. But not on the same level as a Civil War battlefield or a major American warship.

A group did try to save the SS United States using private donations. That was the way to go. But not near enough money came in. So I guess you could say people voted with their wallets. And they said no thanks.

An almost three quarter of a century old ship that’s been gutted and rotting for decades isn’t much of a national treasure any more. They do plan to salvage some of the remaining artifacts.

At least they didn’t send it to south Asia and kept the ship breaking jobs in America.
