Staff Reports
In the latest alarming news about the country’s financial state, it has been revealed that the annual interest on the national debt has now surpassed the entire budget allocated for our military. You heard that right, folks! Our government is spending more on just paying the interest on its massive debt than it is on protecting our nation. This is a clear sign of the reckless and irresponsible financial management that has become all too common in Washington.
Keep spending money we don't have all you morons in Washington!
Annual Interest on National Debt Now Eclipses Entire Military Budget https://t.co/eHIlTbtIZb— Disgruntled Midwest Patriot (@MadPatriot60) March 17, 2024
The blame for this dire situation can be laid at the feet of none other than President Joe Biden. Since taking office, Biden has been on a spending spree that would make even the most extravagant celebrity blush. With a budget request of a jaw-dropping $7.3 trillion, Biden is single-handedly driving our nation deeper into debt. And let’s not forget that when Biden was sworn in, the national debt was at $27.7 trillion. Fast forward a little over three years, and it has ballooned to a staggering $34.5 trillion. If this trend continues, we will be looking at a mind-boggling $46.6 trillion debt in just four years.
It’s not just Biden who is to blame, though. The addiction to spending in Washington is a bipartisan problem. But Biden has certainly taken it to a whole new level with his trillion-dollar relief plans and infrastructure projects. And what is the solution proposed by Biden and his cohort of tax-happy Democrats? You guessed it – more taxes! Because why cut spending when you can just squeeze more money out of hardworking Americans, right?
But any sensible person knows that the real solution lies in cutting spending, not increasing taxes. If the government could just rein in its excessive spending and adopt some common-sense budgeting practices, we could turn this sinking ship around. But alas, that would require a level of fiscal responsibility that seems entirely foreign to the current administration.
So, here we are, stuck in a cycle of ever-increasing debt and interest payments that are devouring our budget. It’s time for a change, a real change that puts our financial house in order and stops burdening future generations with our reckless behavior. But until that day comes, we can only hope that sanity prevails in Washington and we see some real action taken to tackle this monumental crisis before it’s too late.
