Quote of the Day
“Two hundred and fifty years into the American experiment, our national debt has hit an all-time high of $40 trillion. During his first campaign for president, Donald Trump promised to pay down the national debt within eight years. Since then, it has doubled. In fact, Trump has accumulated as much debt since entering the White House as every president from George Washington through Bill Clinton combined. If you made $1 million a day, it would take nearly 110,000 years to pay off $40 trillion. That’s 20 times longer than all of recorded history. And for the first time ever, Americans are paying more in interest on the debt than on national defense.”
