"Our" U.S. National Debt --- A Shameful Life & Liberty-Threatening Legacy!

 

On 11/27/2023, State Senator Virgil Peck, R-Havana, conducted a (15-Stop) "Senate District 15 Legislative Listening Tour." 

A most meaningful "Representative of the People" effort.  One not only offering an all-important "attentive ear" to the concerns of his constituents, but also an opportunity to include a very constructive review and update on crucial topics such as those highlighted in his special tour-supporting Handout (Copy "Inserted at bottom of this posting").  Topics including, but not limited to, our very much unsustainable and out of control Federal Government Deficit and U.S. National Debt!  

For example:

•  a U.S. National Debt of (at time of 2023 Listening Tour) about $33.8 Trillion (over $260,000 per taxpayer);
• a U.S. Government 2024 Budget of some $6.83 Trillion (over $1.8 Trillion more than forecasted to bring in);

With the above being in likeness to a person with a 2024 salary of $50,360 spending $68,800 and having $360,000 of debt.

At this point it seems both noteworthy and deeply unsettling that, in the right-hand margin of this webpage is a link to a little self-published book, titled, "Our" U.S. National Debt--101 . . . written just 6 years ago, in 2018, when "our" same U.S. National Debt had then just exceeded some $21 Trillion!

 In any case, whether one speaks of a YR2018 debt of $21 Trillion, or a now 01/05/2024 debt of over $34 Trillion . . . what a truly, truly shameful Life & Liberty-Threatening Legacy being passed to America's Young Children, Grandchildren, & The Not Yet Born!!!
