If you raise the debt ceiling, How about a piece of the pie to those on Social Security? Give us some of that extra spending money.

That 2 Year Freeze Ends Later This Year.

The US debt is massive. In terms of the US 1 cent, were you to stack then on top of each other, (flat side to flat side) you would have a roll of cents wider than the diameter of the orbit of Saturn around the Sun. What a big problem you've made yourselves, enslaved yourselves to those you are now indebted to. The thing you Americans value so much, your freedom, is the thing you're increasingly going to lose.

The interest on the debt alone will soon be more that the entire US defence budget. Services elsewhere will increasingly get cut, you'll be paying your taxes and getting less and less, just paying off the interest on the debt. That black hole of debt will become so huge, you'll never escape from it. Financially enslaved to the globalists, who lets face it they won ages ago.
