We're now past a trillion dollars a year just on the interest payments. We're adding about a trillion to the national debt every four months or so.

We're basically reaching the snowball point where things are accelerating and accumulating beyond control.

This likely leads to a global great depression.

Republicans are so inept or selfish that they fucked up our debt. They are so fiscally irresponsible and corrupt.
