[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our national debt is truly shocking.   Just look at this “debt clock:”

This debt could get out of control and even become an existential threat.   But I do not hear anyone in our national media sounding the alarm.

Why is that?[/quote]

Letting the TCJA tax cuts expire would reduce the growth in national debt by trillions of dollars over the next decade. [/quote]

In other words:

- raise the percentage of taxes collected every year? [/quote]

Americans voted in MAGA to stop Democrat insanity.

I agree the National debt is a problem, but there are only two way to address this problem raising taxes or cutting spending. In FY 24, the deficit was 1.7 Trillion. If you only want to reduce spending. You would have to eliminate all “discretionary” spending. So no more DOD, EPA, FDA, USDA, etc. Balancing the budget without increasing taxes would literally require us to eliminate the military entirely. The is no reasonable solution to the budget that does not involve some level of tax increases. [/quote]
