News story from USA Today:
The national debt surpassed $22 trillion for the first time on Tuesday, a milestone that experts warned is further proof the country is on an unsustainable financial path that could jeopardize the economic security of every American.
The Treasury Department reported the debt hit $22.012 trillion, a jump of more than $30 billion in just this month.
The national debt has been rising at a faster rate following the passage of President Donald Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax-cut package a little more than a year ago and as the result of congressional efforts to increase spending on domestic and military programs. The nation has added more than $1 trillion in debt in the last 11 months alone.
“Reaching this unfortunate milestone so rapidly is the latest sign that our fiscal situation is not only unsustainable but accelerating,” said Michael A. Peterson, chief executive officer of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, a nonpartisan organization working to address the country’s long-term fiscal challenges.
For Americans, the growing debt should be a concern, experts said, because over time it can push up interest rates for consumers and businesses. The higher rates can ripple through the economy, nudging up rates for mortgages, corporate bonds and other types of consumer and business loans.
A. Yes.

Does that excuse the reckless spending? Has it ever increased this much during a time of prosperity?
This is criminal, just as it was in 2016 and 2017.
You didn't see A.?

I am almost positive that our current president and the Republican Party are not solely responsible for the national debt. They own their portion. But not all. It was a total team effort.

Is anyone saying that they are? But when they claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility and then intentionally and egregiously jack up the deficit in middle of a strong economy, that's seriously messed up.
The CBO scored their tax bill as a gigantic hit to the deficit and they said they essentially just don't care. That's a danger to our country and it's completely intentionally.

When they're not the ones in power they are.
Or when it comes to raises for federal employees.

From 1995 to 1999, the GOP cut spending significantly, along with Bill Clinton.
They haven't paid more than lip service since -- 20 years.

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
Nate White, a witty writer from England wrote the perfect response.
“A few things spring to mind…
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll.
And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

Claiming current conditions at the border as a National Emergency should be an impeachable offense.

Did you not read the agreement that Trump is being forced to sign? Boss move.
Have you not been listening to the FoxNews/Ann Coulter honks doing a 180 because they are being told by the White House that if you bash Trump for signing this then he'll throw another hissy fit and end up in another government shut down and ruin his chances for reelection? Boss move.

The list of "national emergencies" in the last 20 years is very long and mostly full of moves to block foreign scumbags from doing stuff. With some legalese, this can be painted to look like those and not stand out as outrageous. The big difference is that most of those don't appear to cost US taxpayers billions of dollars to implement. Trump is basically stealing money from US citizens to buy votes in the form of a campaign promise that he couldn't convince Congress was necessary.
