Right now the high estimate to rebuild LA is $150 Billion. Maybe it will go even higher. One of the greatest disasters of my lifetime.

And yet...

The debt was $5.6 trillion in 2000. It is $36 trillion now. It keeps growing, every hour, every day. More than 150 times as costly as the LA tragedy in less than a generation. Like a burning fire, but much bigger, and all the time.

But no one sounds the alarm. 

The government adds to it in the shadows, slow and quiet, while the pile grows higher all the same.

When do we say enough? When do we stop pretending this is fine? 

This is not a partisan issue. We've had both parties light money on fire continuously. If you think the answer to every problem is to hand the government more money after all this waste, you are not serious. You are fiddling while the fire burns.
