Controlling Debt While Protecting America

Since 2001, our nation has added about $1 trillion a year to the national debt. It currently stands at $31.4 trillion and is at our maximum amount of debt the federal government can incur, or our debt ceiling. While we continue to incur debt, we are simultaneously sending billions of dollars of military hardware abroad. Politicians need to balance the dual national security concerns of a debilitating crushing debt and providing enough resources to protect America. Our government can do both.
