We are watching in real time as Donald J. Trump is sucking from Vladimir Putin’s little nozzle. In a desperate bid to lower fuel prices and buy our votes ahead of the midterms, he is bypassing his own sanctions to pump billions of American dollars into Russia's war machine. While we remain trapped in a disastrous, aimless war with Iran (a conflict Trump himself started!) he is actively enriching the very dictator who arms our enemies. What do you think?

America owes $40 trillion. How much longer can Washington keep borrowing before the bill becomes a crisis?

Let's look at the national debt in household terms, examine the growing cost of interest, and compare the records of Republican and Democratic presidents. Trump promised fiscal responsibility, but let's see what he actually delivered—and why Democrats don’t get a free pass either.

This reaches beyond Washington: your mortgage, your retirement, and your children’s future are part of the bill. Are you okay with this?
