So after beating around the Bush, they reveal that Obama didn’t sign legislation to get his house in order. He signed it to put other presidents on the line.
The paper doesn’t point that out or call him on it. And this is the first time the NYT has gone on record with the idea increased spending is wrong at all.
Hey, it only took $22 trillion dollars in excess spending, nine of which came on Obama’s watch.
What happened to the one cent thingy?
The debt will NEVER be paid off. The credit card just keeps getting fatter.
Why is it that the White House would make any kind of deal with Congress for anything while they are still overtly rattling impeachment sabres?
(Okay, yeah - they’re more like plastic picnic knives, but still...)
No Congress paychecks/travel reimbursement/office decor/janitorial service/etc. should be issued until the debt has been eliminated.
We will not borrow it from China - they don’t have the cash, and have been net sellers lately.
The Japanese have been snapping up Treasuries lately. At current rates, they are on track to edge past China as the biggest foreign holder, in just the next month or two (about $1 trillion each).
The really biggest holders, are the social security and medicare programs (about $6 trillion).
Who didn't know Federal spending would increase?
