The U.S. is drowning in debt. 80 trillion dollars. It’s not numbers on a page. It’s money borrowed and owed by everyone alive now and generations not even born yet. Politicians keep spending like there’s no tomorrow but there is one. Interest payments are eating everything alive. Less money for what matters: defense, roads, schools. …

Twelve billion dollars. Gone. Not over a decade. Not over a year. In a single night. That is what it cost when Israel launched roughly 1,000 American-built THAAD-class interceptors during a massive missile barrage. Each interceptor costs about $12.6 million. Multiply it out. That is $12.6 billion worth of high-tech weaponry evaporated in one evening. …

by Michael When you spend 30 trillion dollars that you do not have, it is easy to create an illusion of prosperity. In 1995, the nation was obsessed with the O.J.
