America's bipartisan debt-bomb suicide pact

Many of you probably remember 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney being secretly recorded by a Democratic operative telling donors that "47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what" because they are "Dependent upon government believe that they are victims believe the government has a responsibility to care for them these are people who pay no income tax."

The more the government spends, the less Americans expect to pay.

Today? More than half of all U.S. counties drew at least a quarter of their income from government aid.

None of it comes close to paying for the massive debt spending the federal government takes on every year.

In 2023, the federal government spent $6.13 trillion, more than half on entitlement programs.

Last year's deficit of $1.7 trillion was more than the entire budget of the U.S. government in 1993.
