If you can explain how we can survive $37 Trillion in Debt, with the debt increasing by $1 Trillion every 90 days, and $600 Billion being spent annually just to service the interest on our debt I am all ears.
At this point, worrying about the 2026 mid-term election is like worrying about the deck chairs on the Titanic.
We are in a race to turn things around, even minimally, and are racing against the Left who wants things to deteriorate so they more than a snowball's chance in the mid-terms (as you seem to be arguing for). And we do not have time on our side.
The fact is we are never going to pay off the national debt. Let’s agree on that.
If the immediate goal is to drive down rates so debt can be refinanced at a lower than current rate that’s one consideration.
Another is the revenue that tariffs generate.
But we will make it 2026. And people are going to ask the question I posed earlier - are they better off financially than they were before? That will undoubtedly mean day-to-day better.
We shall see.
I’m not arguing for that. I’m a big fan of “make the choice, own the choice” and “the buck stops here”.
If people don’t believe they are better off financially there’s apt to be changes in Congress.
