In the time it took you to read the title of this post the national debt went up $100,000.

Someone will have to pay for this. Eventually.

1. Should I say "Here we go"?

National debt is touted as a horrible problem only when the Democrats have any control. Otherwise, not so much.

2. Of course. And the Democrats are the only ones that try to lower it.

Look at the liability for the interest alone.

Note: I am not one to bash the debt, I think debt is good, but skyrocketing debt is not good, and these guys want to bankrupt the country. Most of our debt is internal. Most of it is in Social Security and Medicare. They want to get rid of both.

This is the plan.

3. $200,000 - I'm a slow reader

4. Ha! I wondered if someone would say that.

I read it as "one hundred thousand dollars" so it just fits $100,000 if I read it at a normal pace.
