$34.145 trillion in national debt and rising rapidly. The nation as a whole and in many cases individually is functionally bankrupt. Time to reset, and stop that which will be more painful to stop tomorrow, next month, next year.

You are correct that a reset is needed. But except for Rand Paul, no important politician cares. Heck, when Trump was president he did not veto a single major spending bill. Not even one.

So when it comes to deficit spending, it won’t matter much who wins in November. Eventually there will be a reset. But it will not be by choice. It will be forced upon us. And it will be very ugly.

D or R, a pox on both their houses (so to speak).
