Let's not win one war at the the expense of losing another. The national debt continues to skyrocket, in part because running it up fights against other problems. Like electric vehicles; look at all the tax breaks and grants supporting that industry. Like a handout of $350 per month per child that Sen. Mitt Romney is proposing. And, the list goes on and on. It is no secret.
"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by sword. The other is by debt." -- John Adams
The debt is approaching $31 trillion. To give that perspective, it's about 300 times the number of stars in the Milky Way.To give it perspective, it's a greater number than the grains of sand on the beaches of the world.
There's no person who can count that high, but there are a lot of politicians who apparently think we should.
