Claims · 31 wordsHowever, the man with a trillion-dollar debt, that is one thousand billion dollars in debt, cannot tell us how much the interest on that debt costs.² He talks about intergenerational investments. The question · 19 wordsDoes he realize that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be paying for this government’s debt and reckless deficits?
