There are plenty of headline articles on the deficit... it's not like a secret. The unfortunate truth is that people have become desensitized to the term "trillion". Most people in this country cannot even tell you how man zeroes a trillion has. It is just a phrase. They don't realize that we're talking TEN TO FIFTY OF THOUSANDS in new debt for each family in America. They have no idea. So don't talk about the "headlines". The man is setting up a situation that definitely, without doubt, leads to the demise of the country. My kids and grandkids will not enjoy the freedom and prosperity I've had. So excuse me if I'm a little bit pissed about that.
