Let this sink in. Our government will borrow… BORROW… $1.786 TRILLION in half a year. We are mortgaging our prosperity to people who hate us. Our nation is fast approaching the point of economic collapse.

In a closely watched announcement Monday afternoon, the U.S. Department of the Treasury said it will be looking to borrow $776 billion, which is below the $1.01 trillion in privately held marketable debt the department borrowed in the July-through-September period, the highest ever for that particular quarter.

We are also approaching another fake “shut down” controversy. The Republicans in the House need to force meaningful spending reductions.
