This is a fraud on the American people, and it has been perpetrated for 42 years.
So the last few years, we have seen the annual deficit... decline I would actually say fairly significantly.
I for one have never called for cutting Social Security.
Mr. President, not only should you allow the appropriations process to flow, but you should actively engage to encourage it to happen.
I would submit that the process is broken.
It contributes to this debt.
I am of the opinion that various elements in the Congress have used the defense appropriations bill as a hostage.
There is no way that we can fund $1 trillion of interest.
All the conversations we have here...is because fundamentally the budget process is broken.
the greatest threat to national security is our own federal debt.
The Department of Defense does need an audit.
