No one wants to talk about the $1.8 Billion federal budget deficit. But, as Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Budget warns, the interest costs alone to serve that debt are approaching 17% of government spending, which is more than we spend on defense, education and healthcare.
oh, this proves i!, the conservatives are going to lose. the deficit only matters when they are not in power… better start talkin about the deficit before dems try an make peoples better…
what youll never, ever hear is ‘the deficit! we better cut back on military spending!’ or ‘the deficit! we could save hundreds of billions by implementing universal health care!’
