When the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was asked, “What’s the greatest threat to the United States’ national security?”
His answer shocked everyone: “The single biggest threat to our national security is our debt.”
And that was in 2010, when the debt was half what it is today and interest payments were six times smaller.
The U.S. is sitting on a ticking time bomb, yet most members of Congress still aren’t taking the action needed to prevent catastrophe.
And why has this issue pushed @ElonMusk and others to condemn the current political climate openly?
I sat down with the leading Senator trying to change the status quo: Senator Rand Paul – and he did not hold back.
