While this is a dated read here, even years ago some people were already talking about the National Debt being a national security threat, so labeling that as such is hardly a new concept.-

As for the sources I cited above, here's how they rate regarding bias fact checks. The Committee For A Responsible Federal Budget rates high in credibility and leans a bit more to the right, while The Brookings Institution rates very high in credibility while leaning a bit more to the left. The Congressional Budget Office (a Federal agency) is a neutral source that is rated very high in credibility. So all sources cited are credible.-

In conclusion, the growing national debt is a serious concern, and from the looks of it will negatively impact the future generations. Neither of the two-Party monopoly are doing anything about this concerning issue, and it's high time that we the voters start holding our elected representatives responsible for their inaction(s), and start asking them some more (serious) questions. From corporate bailouts to extreme amounts of defense spending to social welfare programs such as Social Security and Medicare, are all adding greatly to the national debt. Something needs to change there before it becomes too late to do anything about it.
Take a look at any pie chart of overall spending and stop citing SS/Medicare as a problem...a Tiny slice of the pie, Tiny.
@SpikeTalon sorry, but I Googled "Pie Chart of USA budget" and got at least 6 sources that basically agreed that Defense takes up the Huge majority of spending..
I almost never depend on one source as I hate looking like a fool, BTW.
And you know the other countries are NOT going to give us a muligan like we have for other countries over the years. Why people don't seem to understand this is truly mind boggling. Hell, I don't know, maybe they will if we ask nice enough. I won't be holding my breath though.
