Just heard a soundbyte on Maria Bartiromo's show: Fed.gov is on track to spend more this year than the previous 200 years combined. That almost says more about this year compared to the last ten or so years of ridiculous debt.
There just doesn't seem to be any way to stop this train anymore. Everytime Rand Paul brings it up, both sides call him a crackpot, just like they did his father before him.
