It's well after 8:30 and Obama hasn't spoken of the debt yet. Isn't the national debt first and foremost the leading indicator of the state of the union? Looks like Obama wont mention that when it it's 20 Trillion, the whole system collapses and every child will owe about one million dollars. Oh wait,,,Democrats don't care about debt so long as they are millionaires who stole their money from the middle class.
The reverend added that he hoped President Obama would “turn to God for wisdom and direction” in leading America for his last 12 months in office. “Tonight the president is set to give his final State of the Union address,” said Rev. Graham in a Jan. 12 post on Facebook. “I can tell you the state of our union.” “Our nation is broken -- it's broken morally; it's broken spiritually; it's broken politically; it's broken racially,” he said.
“The state of our union cannot be fixed unless we repent of our sins individually and ask our nation to do the same,” Rev. Graham continued. ”I've just led a Decision America Tour prayer rally in the capital of Florida--#2 of 50!” he said. “Now I'm on way to Baton Rouge to pray with the people of Louisiana for their state and this nation tomorrow at noon.
“Mr. President, I hope in the time you have remaining in office that you will turn to God for wisdom and direction about how to lead this nation,” said Rev. Graham. “May your last 12 months be the best and most beneficial for this country. ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord’ (Psalm 33:12).” Franklin Graham, 63, is the son of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham. Franklin Graham oversees the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the international Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse. He is married and has five children.
Rev. Graham on SOTU: ‘Our Nation is Broken – It’s Broken Morally, It’s Broken Spiritually, It’s Broken Politically’
we wouldnt owe 19 trillion if Obama just agreed to lower all our taxes and corp. taxes to about 15% instead of 39,,,,,yet the left keeps bitchin!
It's clear that the debt isn't an issue to him.
What's the point of him talking about it ? Neither he nor anybody else in Washington is ever actually going to DO anything about it, wake up folks, Washington is on the path to financial ruin and nobody there has any interest in changing it. Once interest rates return to their historical norms you're going to see an explosion of the deficit as debt service eats more and more of the federal budget and the world is finally going to figure out that lending money to the professional money wasters in Washington is a fools errand.
and the growth of the DC area is pretty much all on borrowed money!What's the point of him talking about it ?

Fiscal Year 2015 interest payments on the debt were $402 billion with NEAR ZERO Interest rates
For the 3 months of Fiscal Year 2016 it's already at $126 billion, now imagine rates at 3,4 or 5% ... you do the math.
Once the piper comes to be paid (and he's walking up the driveway) the wailing and gnashing of teeth from all the gub'mint worshippers will be great as they come to realize borrowing and spending like drunken sailors has consequences and they ain't going to be pretty.
I told 'em it was a bad idea to let Kim Jung Un write his speeches but as usual the arrogant prick never listens.
