You've heard the saying, "A picture speaks 1,000 words." Well, these graphs from the Heritage Foundation speak more than 1,000 words, and none of them are cause for celebration.
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent spending caused a massive spike in our nation's debt. As David Ditch explains, the debt won't cause a crisis tomorrow, but "we now have a clear picture of what is coming our way, and it isn’t pretty."
Check it out for yourself:
We can't trust Congress to get our finances under control. They didn't fix the national budget during good economic times, and they clearly have no interest in fixing it now.
We must call upon the people and the states to do what Congress won't: impose real fiscal restraints on the federal government.
An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the people and the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can force Congress to balance the federal budget, cut spending, and limit taxation.
This complete package of amendments will finally compel our elected officials to make the tough financial decisions for the good of future generations. Rather than pander to special interests and rich donors, our members of Congress will be forced to do the real work of governance and make responsible financial decisions.
