“The borrower is the slave of the lender” Proverbs 22:7(b) (ESV).
Congress has passed a sweeping two year budget agreement that increases spending by several hundred billions dollars.
It includes $89 billion in supplemental disaster relief, $63 billion in other non-defense spending, $300 billion for the Pentagon and a suspension of the debt limit.
All this while we have $22 trillion in debt and that number doesn’t include unfunded mandates. The real national debt number is much higher.
Fiscal responsibility no longer seems to be a priority for the Republican Party.
Conservative and Republican are not synonymous terms.
