Dumbocrats set that debt in motion when they illegally created welfare and Social Security in the 1930's. Republicans informed them that it was unsustainable. But being addicted to power - Dumbocrats went ahead with it anyway. History has proven the Dumbocrats right.Republicans set that debt in motion when they cut taxes and went to war with Afghanistan and Iraq, and then crashed the economy. The US has been continually at war since 2002.
Defense is expensive. Which is why we need our money for defense - instead of unconstitutional hatriot nonsense like Social Security, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, housing, transportation, etc. for the parasite class.War is expensive and the money isn't being spent on programs at home.
