Was doesn't the MSM talk about Obama quoting wrong founding doc in the State of Union

"Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America."

--Senator Barack Obama
Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt
March 16, 2006

Weirdly, we didn't hear him mention in his SOTU address that by 2019 the interest on our debt will be 799 Billion. That's like paying for a Porkulus bill out-of-pocket ANNUALLY. :eek:
And that, on top of the 700 Billion we already spend on foreign oil and before any new spending on healthcare, and before repairing our system of entitlement spending, which will eat up every dollar of GDP by 2049 if memory serves.

It's utterly unsustainable. Our children are ROBBED of their future, ROBBED of the American legacy we were responsible for leaving to them. There's no point in sending them out for college educations when their future is limited to pulling the government wagon, yoked like animals by inescapable debt.

I hear you
