President Trump never claimed to be an actual fiscal conservative on the campaign trail. But his casual shrug-off of the nation's debt problem doesn't make the impending debt crisis any less terrifying.
The Daily Beast reports that when pressed by aides about tackling the national debt, Trump says the quiet part out loud, admitting that he's just trying to kick the debt can down the road for a future president — which, in fairness, is exactly what his predecessors did to him.
Trump, a 72-year-old billionaire who's never really cared about fiscal conservatism, can blow off the national debt, but it's bound to blow up within decades if not sooner. If Republicans continue to fail to address it after multiple presidencies promising to tackle fiscal responsibility, they ought to stop pretending to be conservative. Someone needs to take charge on spending because the math is getting too frightening to ignore.

I have noticed a lot of schools in Salisbury half the American flag at FULL STAFF when they are supposed to be at HALF STAFF until Dec 30.
Then someone will be forced to raise taxes and everyone will lose their minds.
10:50 it will be a dem, that's the way the cycle goes. Clinton cleared out deficit and republicans brought it back up. Instead of taxing the ultra rich, who can afford it, they would rather put the burden on us.
They won't need to raise taxes, just get spending under control. Too many so called "entitlements".
