Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee - The accrued interest on the national debt now exceeds $1 trillion a year—more than we spend on national defense
And yet Congress continues to add to the debt at an astounding rate of $2 trillion per year—with our national debt growing faster than our economy
Unless we turn this around quickly, our debt and deficit will increasingly threaten our ability to fund the basic operations of government
But have no fear, these massive deficits are “essential”—that is, they play an essential role in Congress’s ability to avoid making difficult decisions while “getting things done” (i.e., spending more money), which seems to be the prime directive of The Uniparty™️
This harms hardworking Americans—especially the poor, who are hit hardest by the invisible, highly regressive tax this inevitably creates (in the form of inflation)
Meanwhile, big spenders in Congress—in both parties—forge ahead, knowing well that the media will praise them for voting to spend more, and relentlessly criticize anyone who wants to cut … well … basically anything
No amount of media praise directed at politicians can provide moral justification for the immense harm that this cruel, vicious cycle inflicts on hardworking Americans

Interest payments already consume 25% of all government revenue.
If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else! No social security, no medical, no defense … nothing.
