"differing opinions about what is best"

I agree with that. MY biggest thing is DEFICITS and accumulated National DEBT.

It "sickens" me to know that a good portion of my taxes are going to pay INTEREST to China and other foreign holders of our debt.

It also sickens me to know that our Country is spending almost as much on interest payments as on National Defense.

I'm tired of hearing Candidates say that FIRST they want to cut taxes and THEN they'll get around to cutting spending.

Can we agree that our Country cannot just keep piling up trillion after trillion in debt without eventually (if not already) undermining our financial stability and even national security?
