Rising Debt Is a National Security Threat

The single greatest threat to our national security is our national debt. Last month, the debt topped $20 trillion. This should have sounded alarms throughout Washington. However, it went largely unnoticed and today it's still business as usual.

Washington is on track to rack up another $11 trillion in debt over the next decade, and there's another $100 trillion in future unfunded liabilities (consisting of spending of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, interest on the debt and pensions for federal employees) coming at us like a freight train. That's close to $1 million for every household in America.
