Congress claims our national debt is over 15.5 trillion, and justify their huge cuts on the need to pay it back, but what they fail to mention is that only 4.5 trillion is foreign debt, and the rest are public debts like social security, medicare, etal, that would require more taxes to pay them back.—which congress isn’t about to do

Then perhaps you needn’t worry about the national debt.
Oh wait a minute….........you don’t have a choice.
And I wish I didn’t have to take the time to write all this, but when it comes to choice…......neither do I also have one.
