The Biggest Issue of Our Time: The US National Debt
00:00:00.000 | I remain steadfast in my commitment to there being only one major issue facing this country,
00:00:05.120 | and that is the federal debt and the deficit.
00:00:07.860 | We are increasing the federal debt by a trillion dollars every hundred days.
00:00:12.140 | That number is not slowing down.
00:00:13.580 | The current budget proposal from the Biden administration calls for over $7.2 trillion
00:00:18.860 | to be spent next year.
00:00:19.980 | That makes the U.S. federal government roughly one-third of our country's GDP.
00:00:24.480 | The outrageousness of the condition that the U.S. is in right now makes it so insane to
00:00:30.840 | me that we are talking about any other topic.
00:00:33.300 | If every voting citizen of the United States does not recognize the severity of the deficit
00:00:37.420 | and debt problem that the federal government faces, you are wasting your vote, and no candidate
00:00:42.060 | is speaking to what is clearly the biggest issue of our time, and we need to address
00:00:45.840 | this issue headlong.
00:00:46.840 | So I don't care about this person or anyone else who's running for office that is talking
00:00:50.980 | about stuff that we cannot actually address and problems we cannot actually solve if we
00:00:55.200 | don't get our fiscal affairs in order.
