The budget debate is under way, and as the current Congress makes its decisions on which direction the pork will fly, the fact remains we currenlty spend 12% of our budget on Interest on the National Debt. That is shameful.

I am sure this sounds partisan but the Republicans became the party of choice over 20 years ago. They were the the party of reform; the party of small government; the party of fiscal responsibility. They were “starving the beast”. Bottom line - they control the government and none of this is true.
