This economy has been "growing" on national debt for 40 years. The national debt has grown $32 TRILLION dollars during that time, sort of like maxing out all of your credit cards and telling yourself that you got a raise.

If only the people who run these non-profit organizations would spend their own fortunes on all of this spending, it might make some sense in a twisted way. And wait until the kids who are supposed to benefit from this STEM spending figure out that THEY have to deal with the debt left behind. I wonder how often they will stop by the cemetery and leave flowers for the big spender graves.
