It seems that there is little appetite for fiscal sanity in Washington, D.C. these days.
. If the aim is to support American citizens who are out of work, giving money to people who broke our laws to enter the country seems, at the very least, controversial and divisive at a time when we need broadly unifying policies.
Our national debt has soared over the last several decades, from $1 trillion in 1982 to over $25 trillion today. Even with a booming economy over the last few years, we kept racking up debt. We were already headed to over $23 trillion before the COVID-19 crisis, which isNow with the crisis spending and additional debt factored in, $30 trillion is not out of the question over the next 18 months. That's $30,000,000,000,000.
It may be that we do need to take on additional debt for the good of the American people, as we seek to restore the economy. We've often had to take on additional debt in times of war. The problem is, we were already precariously leveraged before this crisis came our way. Now, instead of it being a manageable, temporary issue, our debt crisis has accelerated exponentially.
Bills like the one passed by Speaker Pelosi and the House not only fail to confront our national debt problem, but also make it seem as if there is no problem to begin with.
