Whatever you thought of the presidential debate this week, the $2 trillion deficit and $35 trillion of national debt on the way to $50 trillion in less than 6–7 years was not on the agenda. What do we make of $1 trillion in interest payments every year?

Crickets. The silence of space. The tinnitus in my ear is louder. Yet this is the most critical problem facing the country. When (not if) there is a recession, that number will get worse"

If that's your issue, then casting your vote is so easy.

Trump would add at least $4.5-5.0 trillion to the deficit if he's elected. Harris will reduce the deficit by $290 billion to $710 billion.

But here, as in most arenas, the gap between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump is large. Trump’s proposals would add at least $4.5 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. In contrast, Harris could actually achieve some deficit reduction depending upon how much of the GOP tax cuts she opts to extend. At worst, her plan would increase deficits only modestly, by less than one-fifth of the Trump total.

Vote for Harris-Walz.
